Impact of Simultaneous Allocation of Distributed Generation and UPFC in the Transmission Networks

FACTS devices are power electronic devices that are integrated into transmission networks to increase power transfer capability, the stability and controllability of the transmission network. These are shunt and series compensating devices. Distributed generation allocation is done to find the optimal location, size and type of DG to minimize losses, to increase voltage profile, increase efficiency of the power system. In this paper optimal placement of DG and UPFC to control the power flow, reduce the losses, enhance stability of the system. In this paper Mi Power 9.0 software is used to do the load flow analysis. Newton Raphson's method is used to do power flow analysis of IEEE 3-bus system and IEEE 14-bus system. This integration shows better results. The voltage profile is increased, the active and reactive power flow is minimized and losses are also reduced.
