Selecting Optimal Reactive Compensation Device for Power System

Abstract:

Although there are many studies on application of FACTS unit, especially application of reactive power generating unit for power system to enhance voltage stability amplitude and transient stability as considered, the evaluation and selection of suitable power generating unit (STATCOM or SVC) as well as optimal compensation size in the analysis of steady and transient state is not paid attention to. This article studies the above described issues to give a solution to install reasonable reactive power generating source (kind of Var source, location, size) for the power system. The analysis will be based on the technical factors rather than economic ones. 500kV grid system in Vietnam will be used in the calculation until 2015. To deeply evaluate, the implementation plan of reactive power compensation was only studied for 500kV grid in the South, where the load demand is large and can be dramatically increased. The results of power flow calculation, the analysis of characteristics of PV, OPF, and transient stability were studied through PSS/E-30 software.
