Optimum location of FACTS devices with advanced control scheme for improving the security of complex power grid (2008–2011)

Abstract:
The 11000km high voltage transmission network is the backbone for power supply in Queensland. Such a long transmission network is exposed to voltage instability and inter-area oscillation problems. Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices are the most effective in reactive power support to achieve better voltage stability and minimise inter-area oscillations. This project aims at developing an optimisation methodology for the location of these devices with advanced control schemes for maintaining secured operation of the overall network. The outcome of this research will maximise the effectiveness of FACTS devices in improving the stability and security of a complex interconnected power-grid. ,
