Performance Improvement of Power Transmission Networks Under Stressed Condition

Abstract

Abstract The traditional method of power generation is not capable of fulfilling the increasing electricity demand. The main objective of installing DG is to put less pressure on the centralized power system and to install them nearer to the load or the consumer. DG and FACTS devices allocation in distribution systems has proved to improve the system performance that is the reduction in power loss, improved voltage profile, controlled power transfer capability, active and reactive power flow, improved transient and dynamic stability, better voltage regulation, etc. In this paper, simultaneous allocation of DG and UPFC is done by using an exhaustive search technique to study the impact on the system in overloading conditions. The main objective is to minimize losses. The power flow analysis is done by using the Newton Raphson method and tested on the IEEE 3-bus system and IEEE 14-bus system in Mi Power 9.0 software.
