Abstract

Interest on FACTS controllers in the scientific and engineering community have increased due to their high reliability, low cost, and absence of infrastructural overhauling. In the context of global sustainability, it is required that FACTS controllers must fulfill physical, technological, and environmental requirements, through design and optimization studies. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the state-of-the-art technologies relevant to multi-objective optimization and performance analysis of FACTS controllers. Types, general overview, FACTS deployed in the Nigerian power systems and multi-objective location optimization and their impact were discussed. Several efficient optimization strategies from recent research works are highlighted and compared, showing that there are research gaps on the integration of advanced control algorithms and use of robust optimization methods.
