Voltage stability and Power flow improvement using STATCOM and TCSC

Abstract: FACTS controllers are increasingly used to improve transmission capability of transmission lines with galloping energy consumption; the demand of transmission line is increasing. It is imperative to use existing transmission system to its full capacity. FACTS controllers play an important role in enhancement in power flow capacity and improvement of voltage stability. This paper investigates the application of STATCOM and TCSC for Voltage stability & power flow enhancement. The case has been tested on IEEE-14 bus system.

Keywords: Power flow enhancement, Voltage stability improvement, STATCOM, TCSC.
