Suitable placements of multiple FACTS devices to improve the transient stability using trajectory sensitivity analysis

Trajectory sensitivity analysis (TSA) is used as a tool for suitable placement of multiple series compensators in the power system. The goal is to maximize the benefit of these devices in order to enhance the transient stability of the system. For this purpose, the trajectory sensitivities of the rotor angles of the most critical generators with respect to the reactances of transmission lines are calculated in the presence of the most severe faults. Based on the obtained trajectory sensitivities, a method is proposed to determine how effective the series compensation of each transmission line is for improving the transient stability. This method is applied to the Nordic-32 test system to find the priorities of the transmission lines for installation of several series compensators. Simulation with industrial software shows the validity and efficiency of the proposed method.
