Abstract
This article presents the study of the impact of the shunt FACTS (alternative AC transmission systems) devices on the AC power grids behavior, In order to show the importance of the control of nodal voltages and the compensation of the reactive power. Two types of shunt FACTS devices are studied in this paper, the first one is the SVC (Static Var Compensators) which is based on thyristor valves, and the second one is the STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) which is based on IGBT/GTO valves. In order to study the reaction of the FACTS devices toward the voltage profile and the reactive power, we perform three cases of test (with and without FACTS devices in the Load flow calculation). Where we correct the voltage violation by ratios of the transformers or by varying the reactive power generated by the capacitor banks, and secondly by including the FACTS devices in a specified location in order to show and compare the influences of these devices against the static equipment (synchronous compensator, capacitor banks). The first test was on the IEEE-05 bus and the second test was on the IEEE-57 bus, using the Newton-Raphson method, the models were implemented in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The results carried out show the robustness of the method with fast number of iterations, and this analysis investigates the shunt FACTS devices influence on the AC system behavior.
