In this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and Guaranteed Convergence PSO (GCPSO) are proposed to determine the allocation of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Static Var Compensator (SVC) for maximizing the Total Transfer Capability (TTC) between source and sink area by considering voltage limits and thermal limits in a power system. The optimization is made on...

For the improvement of transient stability the general methods adopted are fast acting exciters, circuit breakers and reduction in system transfer reactance. The modern trend is to employ FACTS devices in the existing system for effective utilization of existing transmission resources. These FACTS devices contribute to power flow improvement besides they extend their services in transient stabi...

|This paper concentrates on studying the e ect of SVC and TCSC controllers on the Available Transfer Capability (ATC). Standard voltage collapse techniques are used to determine the ATC of a test system, considering a variety of system limits. Then, based on second-order sensitivity analysis, optimal locations for these particular FACTS controllers are determined; these techniques are compared ...

Competition is on rise in generation and distribution, which results huge transactions. Nonetheless, transmission lines are overloaded, since transmission system provides access of electricity having limited corridors. Consequently, the probability of congestion tends to be prominent. Congestion in transmission corridors not only causes collapse of that particular area but affects other area as...

This paper presents a comparative study of the performance of distance relays for transmission line high voltage (HV) 400 kV in Eastern Algerian transmission networks at Group Sonelgaz compensated by two different series Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) i.e. GTO Controlled Series Capacitor (GCSC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) connected at midpoint of an electrical tran...

This paper deals with the loss allocation problem of any interconnected power system. In this paper, an attempt is made to minimize the transmission line loss using FACTS controllers. Two most commonly used FACTS controllers; TCSC and STATCOM are utilized here to reduce the loss. The contribution of system generators at a particular operating load has been calculated using power tracing algorit...

This paper presents a new approach for the protection of Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) line using Support Vector Machine (SVM). One SVM is trained for fault classification and another for section identification. This method use three phase current measurement that results in better speed and accuracy than other SVM based methods which used single phase current measurement. This...

This paper presents a new scheme of thyristor controlled series compensators (TCSC)-based damping controller for inter-area oscillations in bulk power systems based on wide area measurement system (WAMS).
