Optimal Location of Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensation and Static VAR Compensator to Enhance Steady-state Performance of Power System with Wind Penetration

摘要

Wind generation connection to power system affects steady-state and transient stability. Furthermore, this effect increases with the increase of wind penetration in generation capacity. In this article, optimal location of flexible AC transmission system devices is carried out to solve the steady-state problems of wind penetration using a genetic algorithm. Case study is carried out on modified IEEE 39-bus system with wind penetration increases by 50%; the system suffers from outage of one generator with load decrease in one of system buses by 15%. The system suffers from minimum voltage reduction, total loss increase, and violation of power and power angle limits. Series and shunt flexible AC transmission system devices are used in this article. Results showed that series flexible AC transmission system devices in certain range are able to solve these problems associated with wind penetration in power systems with acceptable cost saving.
