Reliability Assessment of DSSC devices and Optimal Placement of them with the aim of Enhancing Power System Loadability and Reliability
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fotuhi-Firuzabad, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the important problems in fulfilling the consumers' power demand that has been especially intensified after restructuring is transmission line congestion. To solve this problem, either new transmission lines should be constructed or the existing transmission lines should be better utilized. Construction of new transmission lines is both expensive and time consuming. Therefore, it is usually better to enhance the utilization of the existing transmission assets. FACTS devices have been introduced over the past decades to enhance power systems operation. However, wide scale deployment of them has not occurred yet due to their high initial investment cost and some other problems. In order...
Probabilistic worth assessment of distributed static series compensators
, Article IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery ; Vol. 26, issue. 3 , 2011 , p. 1734-1743 ; ISSN: 08858977 ; Fotuhi-Firuzabad, M ; Aminifar, F ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The deployment of flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices, despite miscellaneous benefits and applications, has been restricted mainly due to their large investment costs. Accordingly, the notion of distributed FACTS (D-FACTS) was recently proposed. Distributed static series compensators (DSSCs), as a new member of D-FACTS, are directly clamped to conductors of transmission lines. The possibility of controlling the compensation rate of DSSCs from the control center affords the active control of network power flow. This paper presents a comprehensive reliability model for the DSSC. The model is then reduced and a state-space representation is extracted for a transmission line with a...

Abstract
Load flow problems have always been an important issue in power system analysis and require proper modeling of system components. In this regard Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controllers are modern devices that their modeling specially the series type is a challenging topic. This paper describes a three-phase model for Distributed Static Series Compensator (DSSC) based on extending the Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) model in Newton power flow. To extend the SSSC model the following two differences must be considered; three completely independent phases and the existence of several modules in a DSSC system. Simulation results on the IEEE 30-bus system and a five bus...

Abstract
Distributed static series compensator (DSSC) is a member of the family of distributed flexible AC transmission system devices that can be attached directly to conductors of transmission lines. DSSCs are able to compensate for and adjust the line reactance; thus, they could be widely used in stability-limited transmission systems. Owing to economic matters, the optimal placement of DSSCs is of a great interest from practical viewpoints. This study presents an approach to find the optimal locations of DSSCs to enhance the system loadability and reliability using the DC load flow model. The optimisation problem is solved using the mixed-integer linear programming. A compromise between improving...
