Power flow simulation & voltage control in a SPV IEEE-5 bus system based on SVC

Abstract

Static var Compensator (SVC) can be controlled in a coordinated manner for achieving the voltage regulation and transient stability for increasing the performance of power system. In this paper some linearization techniques like parameter uncertainties are considered for increasing the performance of the system. SVC can enhance the plant parameters for improved power flow, voltage stability and transient stability. In this paper a simulink model has been presented in MATLAB where main focus is to integrate the SVC controller with Solar photovoltaic (SPV) as Generator bus, so that voltage regulation, loss minimization & nodal voltage magnitude improvement can be done properly. Optimal location of these FACTS devices at various buses can be specified by means of minimum real & reactive Power flow, Power loss and enhancement of p.u. nodal voltage magnitude at each bus. At the end of the paper results were analysed.
