Abstract
The major drivers of the quest for optimal placement of flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices are the quest for smart grids and economic indicators. The demand for energy and power stability will continue much as the astronomic growth in industries and increase in global population remains. The aim of this paper is to deliver a panoramic view of the use of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) in combination with energy storage system (ESS) in order to enhance power stability. In this paper, it was observed that application of ESS is an important factor in attaining power stability and mitigating the effect of dynamics associated with the power supply system. The miniaturization of batteries and adequate placement of STATCOMs will be a challenge much as new power system are built or existing ones are expanded. The future of ESS is towards the adoption of renewable energy sources as against batteries.
Highlights
Population and economic growth result in increase in the demand of electricity load type and capacity
The development of all algorithms was based on profounder theories that were later adapted to the field of power, engineering, and the placement of flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices
The process of placement, sizing and locations of STATCOMs will continue to be a challenge because power systems will keep evolving with time
Summary
Population and economic growth result in increase in the demand of electricity load type and capacity. Energy storage system (ESS) can increase system reliability and dynamic stability, improve power quality and enhance transmission capacity of the transmission grid in a high power application [9]. The output of their validation and demonstration revealed that the system delivered a good performance of the multilevel controller as well as the benefits of its use in the distribution level power quality (PQ) This similar process was seen in the works of Balibani et al [32], Hasan [37] used BESS is their simulation Farraj [20] strengthened the relevance of appropriate communication in the synchronization. One major challenge identified with the use of FACTS + ESS is the need for large set of batteries in order to integrate the FACTS with the size of the storage systems This is peculiar to BESS, when considering implementation at the large-scale transmission-level applications. The APSO converged faster compared with bee colony optimization (BCO) and the lightening search algorithm (LSA), two methods that were used to validate the performance of APSO
