Impact of wind integration on placement of TCSC

Abstract

This paper deals with optimal location of Flexible AC Transmission system (FACTS) device like Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) by performing Optimal Power Flow (OPF). The OPF is performed on IEEE-14 bus system by minimizing the total system cost with an iterative procedure and the impact of wind integration on the considered system is studied in different scenarios with selection of optimal TCSC parameters. The above method is solved in MATLAB and the required optimization is done in Generalized Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS).
