Optimal placement of static VAR compensator (SVC) in power system along with wind power generation

Power system is nothing but a power Generation, power Transmission and power Distribution. Most of the conventional energy sources generate the power at the hill areas or at the longer distances from electrical consumers, so that an electrical transmission and distribution system plays a vital role in power system. Since most of the electrical loads are inductive loads and transmission and distribution lines itself not pure resistive lines, there is a reactive power requirement in the transmission and distribution systems. If transmission and distribution lines are not maintaining the required reactive power limits, then power losses increase and it also effect on the stability. There are different types of sources available for reactive power management in the power system are shunt capacitors, synchronous condensers and Static Var compensator (SVC). In this paper, optimal placement of SVC in transmission and distribution lines along with Distributed Generation sources (DGS) is analyzed based on better reactive support and stability limits in the lines.
