Determination of location and amount of series compensation to increase power transfer capability

Abstract

of the power systems in network planning is likely to lead This paper discusses the merits of an analytical method for to higher system costs and reduced reliability. 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.

A new algorithm to enhance power transfer using series capacitor

“…The power transfer capability, due to transient stability, should be as high as possible to fully utilize the transmission system. Series compensation is a powerful tool to increase power transfer capability (Nagrath and Kothari 1995;Rajaraman et al 1998, Moghavvemi et al 1999Kundur 1994;Padiyar 1990;Byerly et al 1974;Pai 1981;Fouad and Vittal 1992;Kimbark 1969).…”

Optimal Location of Ipfc in Nigeria 330 KV Integrated Power Network Using Ga Technique

“…The UPFC is designed to control selectively or simultaneously all parameters affecting flow of power in a transmission network and also can independently control both real and reactive flow in the line unlike every other FACTS controller [28]. Its arrangement can either be combination of shunt and series controllers with effective coordinated control or unified power flow series and shunt controllers [16].…”

A linear programming method for series and shunt compensation of HV transmission lines

“…The possibility of using series compensation to cancel part of the reactance of the line by means of series capacitors has been investigated [1,[5][6][7]. The application of series compensation is used to increase the maximum power, reduce the transmission angle at a given level of power transfer and increase the virtual natural load.…”
