This paper determining the location and amount of series addresses transmission capability limits and concerns itself compensation to increase the steady state power transfer primarily with planning decisions. capability in the power system based primarily on cascading line overload considerations. Steady state transmission limits deJne the boundaries of a power system operating point. This paper presents tools to identi3 these boundaries and analytically estimates the change in the boundary limits due to the application of series and shunt compensation. The approach identiJies critical lines that can initiate cascading line outages and identifies the optimal location and amount for series compensation. The methodology can also be used to select sites for devices that can extend the mailability ofpower in $0 wgates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
