| Abstract: | Purpose – Unified power flow controller (UPFC) and advanced static VAR compensator (ASVC) devices are now recognized as the most important flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices. This paper aims to focus on this. Design/methodology/approach – The effects of the location of such installation FACTS devices are examined. Findings – The UPFC as a voltage regulator and ASVC devices applied to a non-linear load are modeled and analyzed. It was found that the optimum installation position for a UPFC device is at the sending end bus where wide range of receiver terminal line voltage and active power can be controlled. However, it was also found that the optimum installation position for an ASVC device is at the receiving end bus where a wide range of receiver terminal line voltage and active power can be controlled. In both cases, it was found that a wider range of reactive power could be controlled when the devices are installed closer to the receiving end bus. Originality/value – Shows that the mid-point of a transmission line is the optimal location for some FACTS devices or reactive power support. The proof is based on a fixed receiving end voltage magnitude, which is practically not valid. |
