Analyzing the Effect of Control Modes Operation of Multiple Facts Controllers on System Performance

摘要

From the analysis presented in this paper, it has been concluded that the power system performance has been enhanced with multiple multi-type controllers when compared to single device. For this, the controllers have been placed in different locations obtained after optimizing the developed severity index in terms of total power losses objective while maintaining system limits. Due to this, the performance of the system has been enhanced not only in terms of security but also in terms of system severity minimization. The presented methodology has proven its effectiveness in solving complex optimal power flow problem with single/multiple multi-type controllers while satisfying both device and system limits. From the results, it is identified that this implemented approach operates without dependent on the nature of the objectives and it can be applied to any type of system. The obtained results have been analyzed with supporting numerical results. The total active power loss and generation fuels cost change depending on control mode of the device, type of device, and number of devices incorporated in the system.
