- Abstract
There are relatively few literatures about Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) in reliability aspects, particularly in composite system reliability evaluation. Reliability of the power system could be studied by some indices that help to compare power system under different conditions from reliability point of view. The actual benefits of the FACTS can be quantitatively estimated using suitable models and techniques. Corrective control as an alternative for the system reinforcement is proposed in this paper as a suitable way to ease the challenges related to building new transmission lines or reconstruction of power grid. Static Var Compensator (SVC) as a member of FACTS family has been used as corrective control. A test case with three scenarios is considered for comparing the effect of SVC on the reliability of the power system. It will be seen that the correct SVC replacement has a great influence on the reliability indices of power grid and losses could be diminished.
