Estimating loadability of a generation and transmission system is of practical importance in power system operations and planning. This paper presents a new formulation for the problem using mathematical programming theory. Both steady-state and dynamic security are taken into account in the proposed formulation. The difference between the proposed formulation and existing ones is that dynamic ...

One of the major causes of voltage instability is the reactive power limit of the system. Improving the system's reactive power handling capacity via Flexible AC transmission System (FACTS) devices is a remedy for prevention of voltage instability and hence voltage collapse. In this paper, the effects of SVC and STATCOM in Static Voltage Stability Margin Enhancement will be studied. AC and DC r...

The loadability enhancement problem with loadability objective is solved in the presence of TCSC and SVC while satisfying system equality and in-equality constraints. It is necessary to solve the optimal power flow in the presence of series and shunt flexible AC transmission system controllers such as thyristor controlled series capacitor and static VAr compensators. The optimal location of the...

in this paper, the static var compensator (svc) has been used to improve dynamic behaviour of power system. to do this, a new objective function is formulated considering power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement and loadability margin decrease. other contribution of this research is proposing a novel structure for particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm through modifying the initia...

Efficient transmission of power is a pressing concern in modern systems as it could relieve additional investments (e.g., right way) and may improve stability. Non-uniform loading lines (which normally occurs due to the inefficient power) lead overloading few lines. These would then be prone voltage instability. However, this problem aggravated under network contingency condition. This paper fo...

The paper presents a new anticipatory load shedding protection scheme implemented centrally from the energy control centre for loadability enhancement. Most of the schemes available in literature for this purpose are based on information at the current operating condition which are blind to load increase scenario and associated switchings in voltage controlled buses. The proposed scheme anticip...

This paper proposes a new voltage control methodology using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique for smart grid loadability enhancement. The goal of this paper is to achieve reliable and efficient voltage profile/stability regulation in power grids. This methodology is based on the decouple power flow equations and the worst-case design technique. Specifically, the secondary voltage ...

In the current power system much concentration is given to the efficient transmission of power from generator side to load end with minimum power loss. To achieve this, the newly introduced FACTS technology is being used. FACTS device such as STATCOM (static synchronous compensator) is used in this paper, for the efficient power transfer between transmission lines. To enhance the loadability of...
