Abstract
Assessment of Maximum Loadability (ML) in the transmission network simulated for single (N-1) and double (N-2) contingencies is discussed in the projected work. Static Var Compensator (SVC), Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) are some of the Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices, which, when installed in the transmission system, helps to achieve reactive power compensation and thereby increase the system loadability. Priority indices like Contingency Severity Index (CSI) as well as Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) are used to identify the optimal location and control settings of these devices. Consequently by reducing the Installation Cost (IC) of FACTS devices, the social and economical reimbursement is improved and also useful in managing the overloading of transmission lines. The proposed problem is simulated using MATLAB 7.0 and tested with the help of Western System Coordinating Council (WSCC) 9 bus system and optimized using Modified Differential Evolution (MDE) algorithm.
