Optimization of power flow through facts in electrical networks

Abstract

A mathematical model is presented for optimizing power flows in an electric network with a flexible controlled alternating current power transmission device - FACTS. The range of questions on the problem of optimizing the power flow in electric networks with one of the FACTS devices, the SVC static power factor compensator, has been expanded and investigated. The Lagrange function for the SVC device is proposed, which serves as the basis for obtaining a linearized equation and determining the optimum of the objective function.The method and algorithm of the optimization problem in the electric power system containing devices of the FACTS technology have been synthesized. The mathematical model allows for flexible and reliable optimization of the electrical power system. Flexibility is explained by the universality of the model, and reliability is explained by the high convergence rate of the Newton method used.
