Abstract

The static var compensator (SVC) is a member of the family of flexible alternating current transmission systems controllers used in power system engineering to manage specific transmission network characteristics to enhance the performance of the transmission networks and thus increase the networks’ reliability. Power system engineers typically find it difficult to choose which SVC model to implement for simulations. This research aims to address this issue by conducting a comparative examination of two key SVC models on a transmission network. The two models of SVC variable shunt susceptance and firing angle were mathematically modeled and methodically included into the Newton-Raphson power flow algorithm for the network power flow solution. The IEEE 30-bus network was adopted as the test case, and the method was implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The network performance metric utilized was the voltage profile of the network. The two SVC models were successful in enhancing the network's performance; however, the variable shunt susceptance model was computationally faster than the firing angle model, as revealed by the simulation results. Therefore, among the two SVC models, the variable shunt susceptance model may be taken into account for simulation to enhance the performance of the transmission networks.

Abstract

This present work investigated the effects of reactive power compensation with the use of a Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) on a practical distribution network. In the approach proposed, the network steady-state parameters were obtained with a backward forward sweep power flow technique, the possible sites for D-STATCOM were predetermined with power loss index while the firefly algorithm was employed for determining the optimal sizes and sites respectively. Three different levels of D-STATCOM penetrations were investigated and their effects on voltage profile enhancement, active power loss reduction, cost of energy savings, payback times, and cost of procurement were assessed. The best optimal sites and sizes obtained after several simulations for case I, case II, and case III are (6, 1000kVar); (12, 349.69kVar; 22, 867.29kVar) and (5, 1200kVar; 14, 424.34kVar; 21, 350kVar) respectively. Also, the percentage improvements at the bus with minimum voltage magnitude for cases I to III are 0.6, 0.78, and 0.79% while the accompanied active power loss reductions are 59.03, 70.57 and 91.78 %. From the economic perspective, the cost of procurement ($), annual energy savings ($), and the payback time (years) for the three cases examined are (5,303.5, 1,461.00, 3.63); (6,454.25, 1,746.66, 3.69); (10,471, 2, 271.58, 4.61) respectively. Also, results validation showed that the approach proposed outsmarts particle swarm optimization and network feeder reconfiguration. The outcome of this work findings application in performance enhancement of real-life distribution networks.
