Optimum location of STATCOM using Q-V curve analysis for power system security
Abstract
Due to slit between the power supply and load, conditions like congestion or contingency arises. During congestion or contingency situations, power devices are connected in the network for enhancing power transfer capacity and thus for securing the power network. As due to economic contemplation, FACTS power devices cannot be connected randomly. This study reports the importance of Q-V curve analysis to verdict the optimum location of STATCOM FACTS power device. Additionally, to validate the result the weak bus or optimum location of STATCOM is identified through the power system analysis toolbox of MATLAB. Standard WSCC 9 bus network is considered as test case in power world simulator software and MATLAB power system analysis toolbox.
