As these controllers not only increases the transmission capacity but also controlling the power flow through the predefined transmission corridors. The effectiveness of modeling and convergence is tested for any FACTS devices and further it is analyzed with different FACTS controllers like TCSC, SVC, STATCOM and UPFC. The standard Newton-Rap son method is used to solve the nonlinear power flow equations. The active and reactive power flow control in AC transmission networks was exercised by carefully adjusting transmission line impedances, as well as regulating terminal voltages by generator excitation control and by transformer tap changes. Series and shunt devices were employed to effectively change line impedances. With inclusion of TCSC the real power flow is improved and SVC, STATCOM results in improved voltage profile where as UPFC increases real and reactive power flow. These device models are tested on IEEE-14 bus system and results are presented. Keywords—SVC, TCSC, STATCOM, UPFC. I.INTRODUCTION Modern control centers of electrical power systems are equipped with computational tools to help time, with the increase in power demand, operation and planning of large interconnected power system are becoming more and more complex, and so power system will become less secure. As the same instability is one of the phenomena which results into a major blackout. Planning the operation power systems under existing conditions, its improvement and also its future expansion require the load flow studies. This is the most favored power flow method and also based on the difference between power flow in the sending and receiving ends, the losses in a particular line can also computed. One of the main strength of the Newton Raphson is its reliability towards convergence. The main aim of this paper is to model FACTS devices in power flow study, and to obtain complete voltage magnitude and phase angle information for each bus in a power system for a specified load and generator conditions. Once this information is known, real and reactive power flow on each branch as well as generator reactive power output can be determined. ISSN: 2231-5381 Due to the nonlinear nature of this problem, numerical iterative methods are employed to obtain acceptable solution. II. FACTS Devices FACTS technology is concerned with the ability to control, in an adaptive fashion, the path of the power flows throughout the network, where before the advent of FACTS, high-speed control was very restricted. In this context, power flow computer programs with FACTS controller modeling capability have been very useful tools for system planners and system operators to evaluate the technical and economical benefits of a wide range alternative solution offered by the FACTS technology [1]. The FACTS devices are a high-end power technology providing more flexibility, fast, reliable and efficient operation of power system [2]. The FACTS controllers can be broadly classified as: A. Shunt Controllers Shunt compensation is mainly used for reactive power and voltage control. The Static VAr Compensator (SVC) generates or absorbs shunt reactive power at its point of connection. SVCs are comprised of Thyristor Controller Reactor (TCR), Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC), combined TCR and TSC. Sample representation of the shunt controller is shown in Fig.1. Fig. 1. Representation of Shunt Controllers B. Series Controllers The principle of the series compensation is to compensate the voltage drop in the line by inserting the capacitive voltage or in other words to reduce the effective reactance of the transmission line. The FACTS based controllers to realize the series compensation are Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). But, SSSC is a gate-turn-off (GTO) based voltage source converter FACTS device. Sample representation of the series controller is shown in Fig.2. http://www.ijettjournal.org Page 111 International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology (IJETT) – Volume 33 Number 3- March 2016 Fig. 2. Representation of Series Controllers C. Shunt-Series Controllers The function of an SSSC (series compensator) and a STATCOM (shunt compensator) can be combined to form a new device known as Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). The STATCOM and SSSC share a common dc energy source, while acts as an energy buffer. Thus UPFC offers a fast controllable device for the flow of active and reactive power in a line. Sample representation of the shuntseries controller is shown in Fig.3. E. SVC Modeling In practice the SVC can be seen as an adjustable reactance with either firing angle limits or reactance limits shown in Fig.5. The equivalent circuit is used to derive the SVC non linear power equations and the liberalized equations required by the N-R method [5, 6]. The current drawn by the SVC is and the reactive power drawn by the SVC, which is also the reactive power injected at bus-i is Fig. 5. Equivalent circuit of SVC Fig. 3. Representation of Shunt-Series Controllers III. FACTS DEVICES MODELING F. STATCOM Modeling The STATCOM is represented by a synchronous voltage source with minimum and maximum voltage magnitude limits shown in Fig.6. The bus at which STATCOM is connected is represented as a PQ bus, which may change to a PQ bus in the events of limits being violated.In such case, the generated or absorbed reactive power would correspond to the violated limit. The power flow equations for the STATCOM are derived from the following voltage source represented. In this paper steady state model of FACTS devices are developed for power flow Studies. Considered FACTS devices are TCSC, SVC, STATCOM, and UPFC [3, 4]. D. TCSC Modeling The TCSC power flow model presented in this section is based on the simple concept of a variable series reactance, the value of which is adjusted automatically to constrain the power flow across the branch to a specified value, the amount of reactance is determined efficiently using N-R method, the changing reactance XTCSC represents the equivalent reactance of all the series connected modules making up the TCSC shown in Fig.4, when operating either in inductive or in the capacitive regions.

UPFC Modeling The UPFC equivalent circuit [7] consists of two coordinated synchronous voltage sources for the purpose of fundamental frequency steady state analysis shown in Fig.7. the UPFC voltage sources are http://www.ijettjournal.org Page 112 International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology (IJETT) – Volume 33 Number 3- March 2016 Fig. 7. Equivalent circuit of UPFC where, and are the controllable magnitude and phase angle of the voltage source representing the shunt converter and and are the controllable magnitude and phase angle of the voltage source representing the series converter. The magnitude of the series injected voltage determines the amount of power flow to be controlled. The active and reactive power equations are: Series converter: Shunt converter: IV. COMPUTATIONAL FLOW NR method is the most popular technique used for solving the resulting nonlinear system of equations. This method begins with initial guesses of all unknown variables. Taylor series is written with the higher order terms neglected for each of the power balance equations included in the system of equations [8, 9]. NR approach is basically applied for nonlinear real type system equations by liberalizing them around an operating point with incremental changes. NR method is not applicable for complex nonlinear equations. 1. Read and print input data 2. Calculate the P injection and Q injection at all buses. 3. Form Y-Bus using scarcity technique. 4. With voltage and angle (usually δ = 0) at slack bus fixed, assume voltage magnitude and phase angles at PQ buses and phase angles at all PV buses. Generally flat voltage start will be used. Set iter=0. 5. Set ΔP=0 and ΔQ=0. 6. Calculate the values of P and Q at all buses and check for Q limits of PV buses. If there is a ISSN: 2231-5381 violation in limits, change the bus status to load bus for the current iteration and reinforce the limits. 7. Compute ΔP for all buses except slack bus and ΔQ for all PQ buses using corresponding equations. If all the values are less than the prescribed tolerance, stop the iterations, go to step 11. 8. If the convergence criterion is not satisfied, evaluate elements of the Jacobian. 9. Solve the load flow equationusing Gauss Elimination for correction vector. 10. Update voltage angles and magnitudes by adding the corresponding changes to the previous values. 11. Increment iteration count (iter=iter+1). Check if (iter<maximum iterations). If yes, return to step 5. else, NR problem did not converge. 12. If the problem converges within the given maximum number of iterations, print results and stop. V. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS To verify the validity of the Newton Raphson method, the IEEE-14 bus transmission system was considered. The benefits obtained from the optimal allocation of FACTS devices such as TCSC, SVC, STATCOM and UPFC are increased power transfer capability, improved voltage profile and reduced real power losses. In this paper the following four cases are analyzed: Case-1: Only with one TCSC Case-2: Only with one SVC Case-3: only with one STATCOM Case-4: only with one UPFC IEEE 14 bus system with 5 generators and 20 transmission line has been considered to find the efficacy of the proposed method without and with FACTS devices. In 14 bus test system, bus 1 is slack bus, while buses 2, 3, 6 and 8 are generator buses and other buses are load buses. As a preliminary computation, performance index (PI) is calculated and then ranking is given for the base case load flows without FACTS devices in Table.1.

CONCLUSION In this paper, the optimal placement of FACTS devices based on Newton Raphson method by using performance index method has been proposed for improvement of voltage profile and to increase the power transfer capability. By using the proposed method, individual bus voltages and line flows and net real power loss can be determined.In this paper, four cases were considered. From these four cases it can be observed that by installing any one of the FACTS device such as TCSC, SVC, STATCOM, and UPFC over loaded line flows and violation of bus voltages can be maintained within the limits. It can also be observed that these line flows and bus voltages are improved by installing these FACTS devices in appropriate locations. Finally, from all the above four cases it can be concluded allocation of UPFC is more effective in order to reduces real power losses. For the validation of results the standard IEEE- 14 bus test systemis considered.
