| Summary: | We focus on issues with the optimal locations of the static var compensator (SVC) for the loadability of power systems in this thesis. In this work, the optimal SVC location was proposed to increase the loadability by providing reactive power in the power system. Most papers ignore resistance on the transmission lines in their optimal location studies and they leave an impression that the optimal location should be at the middle of a long line. Through examples, we showed that high-voltage low-resistance lines might not be the optimal location for loadability. With the line resistance taken into consideration, we derived formulae for the optimal SVC location of a two-PV-bus system. We further extend the analysis to a one-PV-one-PQ-bus system. Both load characteristics and line resistance are considered. Employing a voltage indicator, we extend our two-bus results to multi-bus systems. Our results are verified by extensive numerical search, and we found they match closely. Finally, we demonstrate the applicability of results to a few real systems, such as the BPA 10 bus and the IEEE 57 bus test systems. |
