“…The FACTS devices are an evolving technology to help electric utility companies and their applications in power system make bus voltage magnitude and power flow along the transmission lines more flexibly controlled [7,36]. There are two generations for realization of power electronic-based FACTS controllers: the first generation which employs conventional thyristor-switched capacitors and reactors, and quadrature tap-changing transformers, and the second generation which employs Gate Turn-Off (GTO) thyristor-switched converters such as Voltage Source Converters (VSCs) [34,35].…”

“…The first generation comprises of the Static Var Compensator (SVC), the Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC), and the Thyristor-Controlled Phase Shifter (TCPS). The second generation has produced the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), the Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), and the Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) [36]. Among the FACTS controllers, the most advanced type is the controller that employs Voltage Source Converter (VSC) as synchronous sources.…”

Transmission system is the transportation of electrical energy from generating stations to load centers. However, increase usage of non-linear loads from the consumers has led to electrical Power Quality (PQ) problems which have negative impacts on the operation of the power system especially Nigerian power system. This research analyzed the PQ problem on Nigerian 330 kV power system. Newton-Raphson (NR) iterative method was used to performed load flow analysis on Nigerian 28-bus transmission systems. Then power injection model of the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) was incorporated to modify the NR mathematical model. The suitable placement for the STATCOM in the system was determined using Voltage Sensitivity Index (VSI) and simulation was done in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The results showed that, the suitable placements of STATCOM controller in the power system were buses 5, 8, 12 and 16. The corresponding STATCOM reactive power, sag voltage and sag duration for buses 5, 8, 12 and 16 were 72.

“…Compensating system voltage's profile improves active power of the network by raising its power factor and also decreases harmonic components due to large loads fluctuations from non-linear pieces of equipment [6]. This paper uses shunt capacitor injection for voltage profile improvement on Nigerian 330kV, 24-bus transmission grid system because of its inherent advantages such as low initial cost, it has no moving part and its reaction to failures is quite adequate.…”
