IMPROVEMENT OF POWER AND VOLTAGE QUALITY IN POWER SYSTEM DISTRIBUTION USING FACTS (SVC & DSTATCOM)

Electrical

Abstract

Power quality is one of the important fields in the electrical power and distribution system. In order to reduce the power losses and improve voltage level in electrical power and distribution system, Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices used to achieve that with a suitable way. FACTS devices in the last years used to solve many of power system problems. The FACTS controllers offer a great opportunity to regulate the power flow and responding almost instantaneously to the stability problems. In this paper static VAR compensator SVC and static synchronous compensator DSTATCOM used as a shunt devices connecting on the buses and injecting the VAR to improve reactive power Q. The FACTS devices applied on radial power distribution system 24-bus Electrical Iraqi super grid, some of these are laterals. The power flow simulator was used as tool to simulate this system and all the results are achieved and discussed.
