Power flow control and solutions with multiple and multi-type FACTS devices

Abstract In this paper, a new generalized current injection model of the modified power system using Newton–Raphson power flow algorithm has been proposed for desired power transfer with Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. So that the FACTS devices can be incorporated in the proposed algorithm and, therefore, whole system with these devices can be easily converted to power injection models without change of original admittance and the Jacobian matrices. Power flow algorithm has been modeled in such a way that it can easily be extended to multiple and multi-type FACTS devices by adding a new Jacobian corresponding to that new device only. Power flow algorithm with the presence of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensators (TCSC), Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), and Generalized Unified Power Flow Controller (GUPFC) has been formulated and solved. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm for multiple and multi-type FACTS devices, different case studies of IEEE 30-bus system has been considered and the results are tabulated. The proposed algorithm is independent of the size of the system and initial starting conditions of the FACTS devices.
