Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) Based Technique for Congestion Management Assessment

Abstract:

This paper presents a voltage stability assessment based approach to determine the congested line with optimal sizing and location. FVSI, a voltage stability index is chosen as the indicator for congested line identification, while particle swarm optimization technique (PSO) is used for optimal location and sizing of FACTs devices installation. Congested line is identified by increasing the reactive load at chosen load buses until they reach the maximum loadability level. PSO is applied for identifying the optimal location and sizing of FACTs devices as the compensating device. Results obtained from the implementation on IEEE 30 Bus RTS revealed that the proposed technique can manage the congestion subject to various disturbances.
