The Effect of Shunt FACTS Devices on Voltage Regulation in Transmission Lines

FACTS devices are installed in AC transmission networks to increase power transfer capability, stability, and controllability of the networks through series and/or shunt compensation. This paper shows a shunt flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) device used for voltage regulation in transmission lines. Phasor model of shunt FACTS devices is used. All the simulations for this work have been carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. Simulation results vali-date that power oscillation and voltage can be damped properly using of static var compensator (SVC) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM).
