Abstract

One of the main challenges of the future in the utility sector is constructing the new transmission line corridor. This is due to the fact that land compensation cost associated with the expansion of a new transmission line corridor becomes very expensive and also power transmission efficency is very low. In addition to that, the high carbon emission, which is the major challenge of the world right now, related to the additional conventional energy-based power generation to meet dramatically increased electricity demand and the volatility nature of the existing transmission networks are some of the main drivers to implement FACTS controller in transmission network for flexible, reliable, efficient and stable power transmission. This study accounts modeling of static VAR compensator (SVC), static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), unified power flow controller (UPFC) in a 5-bus transmission system to enhance transmission efficency and the quality of power supplied to the costomer. FACTS devices for improving the transmission line capacity and voltage profile of the power system. The three FACTS controllers are modeled for the standard 5 bus IEEE system based on Newton Raphson algorithm using NEPLAN simulation software in order to investigate their impacts on transmission line capacity and voltage profile improvement. Based on the simulation result, the voltage profile as well as the capacity of the IEEE 5 bus system is improved well by using each of the FACTS controller. From the simulation result we can conclude that the STATCOM and SVC are very efficent in voltge profile improvement whereas the UPFC is well performed for the power transmission capability of the transmission network.
