Optimal Allocation of Series FACTS Devices Under High Penetration of Wind Power Within a Market Environment

Series FACTS devices are one of the key enablers for very high penetration of renewables due to their capabilities in continuously controlling power flows on transmission lines. This paper proposes a bilevel optimization model to optimally locate …

Optimal allocation of series FACTS devices in large-scale systems

Series flexible AC transmission systems devices, such as the variable series reactor, have the ability to continuously regulate the transmission line reactance so as to control power flow. This study presents a new approach to optimally locating such …

The Allocation of a Variable Series Reactor Considering AC Constraints and Contingencies

The Variable Series Reactors (VSRs) can efficiently control the power flow through the adjustment of the line reactance. When they are appropriately allocated in the power network, the transmission congestion and generation cost can be reduced. This …
