Abstract

Matters concerned with applying flexible AC power transmission system (FACTS) devices in electric power systems to improve their efficiency and stability are addressed. The results of simulating the IEEE 9-node test circuit with a FACTS device connected to the most heavily loaded power lines are presented. Numerical experiments with the power system model for steady-state operation were carried out using the Power World software package. The data obtained from simulating the steady-state mode of the IEEE 9-node circuit with and without the FACTS device were compared with each other. The comparison results have shown that by connecting the FACTS device it becomes possible to increase the power line transmission capacity and improve the voltage profile at the circuit nodes, thereby improving the power system stability and efficiency. The study results will be used in solving the problem of achieving more stable and efficient operation of the Azerbaijani power system.
