This document summarizes a research paper that presents a new method for optimally locating Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices like Static Var Compensators (SVCs) and Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSCs) in a power system network. The method uses sensitivity analysis to determine the optimal location and sizing of FACTS devices. It calculates voltage-reactive power sensitivity indices for each bus and line to determine which buses and lines are most sensitive to changes in reactive power. FACTS devices are then optimally located at the bus or line with the highest positive or negative sensitivity index, depending on whether a SVC or TCSC is being placed. The method is tested on the IEEE

Power flow control in parallel transmission lines based on UPFCjournalBEEI
The power flow controlled in the electric power network is one of the main factors that affected the modern power systems development. The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is a FACTS powerful device that can control both active and reactive power flow of parallel transmission lines branches. In this paper, modelling and simulation of active and reactive power flow control in parallel transmission lines using UPFC with adaptive neuro-fuzzy logic is proposed. The mathematical model of UPFC in power flow is also proposed. The results show the ability of UPFC to control the flow of powers components "active and reactive power" in the controlled line and thus the overall power regulated between lines.
Enhancement of Power Quality by an Application FACTS DevicesIAES-IJPEDS
The paper narrates widespread use of electrical energy by modern civilization has necessitated producing bulk electrical energy economically and efficiently. The Flexible AC Transmission system (FACTS) is a new technology based on power electronics, which offers an opportunity to enhance controllability, stability, and power transfer capability of AC transmission systems. Here SVC has been developed with the combination of TCSC and TCR. The paper contains simulation models of Thyristor controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Thyristor controlled Reactor (TCR)- based Static VAR Compensator (SVC) which are the series and shunt Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. The fact devices are designed by considering the line losses and their stability. The design and simulations of TCSC and TCR-based SVC shows the effectiveness of result using the MATLAB/Simulink. The designed system will try to reduce the voltage drops and electrical losses in the network without the possibility of transient especially in case of long transmission system. Student feedback indicates that this package is user-friendly and considerably effective for students and researchers to study theory of controlled reactor compensators, series capacitor compensator, and the reactive power control and voltage regulation

In recent years, studies have been investigated the effectiveness of UPFC and TCSC in increasing power transfer capability. However, the effectiveness of these FACTS devices in increasing power transfer capability when the load is non-linear has not been established in a comparative study yet. This paper will explore the steady-state performance of the UPFC and TCSC as impedance compensation models. The effectiveness of both FACTS devices are investigated when they are installed in multi-machine systems with different non-linear load models. Simulation results demonstrate that, upon installing UPFC, more active and reactive powers are received at the sending end bus for different types of non-linear load models. In addition, both active and reactive powers are more sensitive in changing the modulation index of the converters. Furthermore, both the active and reactive powers are less sensitive to the non-linearity of the load model type. However, active and reactive powers in case of installing TCSC are only sensitive in changing the firing angle (α) when it is between 90º to 110º. Therefore, results from this study clearly encourage the effectiveness of UPFC in comparison to TSCS in terms of increasing power transfer capability applied to non-linear load models.

This paper represents the MSC-TCR scheme of shun t compensation used in FACTS. The laboratory setup of the SVC circuit using a Thyristor controlled reactor in parallel with mechanically switched capacitor will discussed in this paper. Results from the lab setup to exhibit firing angle adjustment to inject or absorb VAr into the system will also be described. During the process,losses happened are also discussed.
The transmission of electric power has to take place in the most efficient way in addition to providing flexibility in the process. Flexible A.C. Transmission System (FACTS) promotes the use of static controllers to enhance the controllability and increase the power transfer capability. Providing reactive shunt compensation with shunt-connected capacitors and reactors is a well-established technique to get a better voltage profile in a power system. Shunt Capacitors are inexpensive but lack dynamic capabilities, thus some form of dynamically controlled reactive power compensation becomes essential.

The present paper examines the deformation behaviour of geometrical specimens of an aluminium alloy undergoing axial compression in a Universal Testing Machine under dry condition. It is observed that researchers have made attempts to investigate alternate specimens for friction calibration. It is found that ring compression test is recommended as the standard test for determination of coefficient of friction, because it gives reliable results. The effect of weight percentage of silicon carbide on microstructure, hardness and upsetting load is studied. The friction factor at die metal interface is evaluated by ring compression tests and its effect on non-uniform deformation is investigated. The experimental results are finally compared with those obtained by FEA simulation and modelling. In order to validate the predictability of these specimens, real experiments on them are carried out. Rings of standard dimensional ratio 6:3:1 in the same machine. Friction predictions from both specimen are found to be in close match, proposed alternate specimen offers a powerful tool for friction prediction in the absence of ring specimen. Some aspects of Exergy calculations have been in the past repeatedly used to quantify the quality and quantity of energy used in thermal energy processes. This attempt to drive a exergy utilization and compare for the first time two entirely different manufacturing processes, material processing by a mechanical method of straining of the material and thermal processing during cold forging of the same mass of the material using exergy formulation as metric. The exergy analysis of material processing is determined by performed work and utilized heat transfer using mechanical and thermal processes

Duplex 2209 Weld Overlay by ESSC ProcessIJERA Editor
In the modern world of industrialization the wear is eating metal assets worth millions of dollars per year. The wear is in the form of corrosion, erosion, abrasion etc. which occur in the process industries like oil & gas, refineries, cement plants, steel plants, shipping and offshore working structures. The equipments like pressure vessels, heat exchangers, hydro processing reactors which very often work at elevated temperatures face corrosion in the internal diameter. Duplex 2209 weld overlay on ferrous material is developed for high corrosion resistance properties and having high productivity by Electroslag strip cladding process due to its less dilution ~10% as compared to SMAW , GTAW or FCAW process. Because of Low Dilution ~10% undiluted chemistry can be achieved with single layer as compared to other weld overlay processes. The facility was developed inhouse to carry out weld overlay by ESSC and Testing.

Moringa Seed, Residual Coffee Powder, and Banana Peel as Biosorbents for Uran...IJERA Editor
The uranium mining deserves attention with regard to environmental impacts and water pollution in Brazil. The research objective was to enable the use of biomass as cheap and available adsorbents for uranium removal from acid mine drainage. Three types of biomass were tested: banana peel, residual coffee powder, and moringa seed. Synthetic uranium solution (SS) and acid mine drainage (AMD) were used in the equilibrium adsorption experiments. Remarkable total uranium removal efficiencies were observed for moringa (96.8 ± 2.2 [SS] and 86.5 ± 0.8% [AMD]), coffee (89.4 ± 11.2 [SS] and 73.7 ± 2.2% [AMD]), and banana (48.2 ± 14.0 [SS] and 55.9 ± 4.8% [AMD]). The highest experimental adsorption densities were 18.7, 19.1, and 6.3 mg∙g-1 , respectively. Quantitative curves were described for each adsorbent and can be used for practical applications. Design and operating parameters for uranium removal from AMD as a post-treatment, polishing method can be determined beforehand.

Dynamic mold surface temperature control (DMTC) has many advantages in micro-injection molding as well as thin-wall molding product. In this paper, DMTC will be applied for the thin-wall molding part with the observation of the weldline appearance and the weldline strength. The heating step of DMTC will be achieved by the hot air flow directly to the weldline area. The results show that the heating rate could be reached to 4.5C/s, which could raising the mold surface from 30C to over 120C within 15 s. The melt filling was operated with high temperature at the weldline area; therefore, the weldline appearance was eliminated. In addition, the weldline strength was also improved. The results show that the thinner part had the higher strength of the weldline.
A Singular Spectrum Analysis Technique to Electricity Consumption ForecastingIJERA Editor
Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) is a relatively new and powerful nonparametric tool for analyzing and forecasting economic data. SSA is capable of decomposing the main time series into independent components like trends, oscillatory manner and noise. This paper focuses on employing the performance of SSA approach to the monthly electricity consumption of the Middle Province in Gaza Strip\Palestine.

However, SSA outperforms the ETS and ARIMA techniques according to forecasting error accuracy measures.
Phyto cover for Sanitary Landfill Sites: A brief reviewIJERA Editor
Landfill gases (LFG) are produced due to biodegradation of organic fraction of municipal solid waste (MSW) when water comes in contact with buried wastes. The conventional clay cover is still practiced to mitigate the percolation of water in landfills in India. Gas extraction systems in landfill for gas collection are used but are much expensive. Thus, “Phytocapping” technique can be one of the alternatives to mitigate landfill gases and to minimize percolation of water into the landfill. Indian plants with locally available soil and municipal solid waste can be tested for the purpose of methane mitigation, heavy metals remediation from leachate. Methane oxidation due to vegetation can be observed compared to non-vegetated landfill. Root zone methane concentrations can be monitored for the plant species

This paper describes a development of a numerical model and experimental validation of the hydrodynamics in industrial-scale sewage sludge bubbling fluidized bed incinerator. The numerical model and simulations are performed using commercial CFD software package ANSYS Fluent 14.5. The complex geometry of the developed numerical model represents the actual industrial-scale bubbling fluidized bed combustor. The gassolid flow behaviour inside the bed was described using the Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model. The momentum exchange coefficients between the gas phase and solid particles were described by the Syamlal and O’Brien drag model equations. The CFD transient simulations were run for 350 seconds at the optimum operating conditions of the used fluidized bed with bed temperature of 850°C. The experiments were carried out using quartz sand with three different particle sizes having a diameters ranging from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm and a density of 2650 kg/m³. The industrial-scale furnace was filled with bed material to a bed height of 0.85 m. The same operating parameters have been applied for both experimental and numerical studies. The hydrodynamics of the gas-solid industrial-scale bubbling fluidized bed at operating conditions are investigated in the CFD numerical model and simulations of this three-dimensional (3D) complex geometry. To estimate the prediction quality of the simulations based on the developed numerical model, the minimum fluidization gas velocity and pressure drop results obtained from the CFD simulations are validated with the experimental measurements. The generated simulation results of the pressure drop and minimum fluidization gas velocity of the industrial-scale sewage sludge incinerator based the Eulerian-Eulerian method and Syamlal and O’Brien drag model are in good agreement with the experimental measured data.

Direction of Arrival Estimation Based on MUSIC Algorithm Using Uniform and No...IJERA Editor
In signal processing, the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation denotes the direction from which a propagating wave arrives at a point, where a set of antennas is located. Using the array antenna has an advantage over the single antenna in achieving an improved performance by applying Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. This paper focuses on estimating the DOA using uniform linear array (ULA) and non-uniform linear array (NLA)of antennas to analyze the performance factors that affect the accuracy and resolution of the system based on MUSIC algorithm. The direction of arrival estimation is simulated on a MATLAB platform with a set of input parameters such as array elements, signal to noise ratio, number of snapshots and number of signal sources. An extensive simulation has been conducted and the results show that the NLA with DOA estimation for co-prime array can achieve an accurate and efficient DOA estimation
Topology Management for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks ScenarioIJERA Editor
Cooperative communication is the main accessing point in present days. These results can be accessed through proactive protocol like route request packet sending and route request packet receiving. The main issue is how communication will be done in MANETS. Mobile Ad-hoc networks are self-configurable networks; each node behaves like server and client in MANET. COCO (Capacity Optimized Cooperative Communication) model was developed for accessing these types of resources in MANETs. This model can’t provide sufficient communication or overall network performance. This model provides sufficient capability improvement in mobile ad-hoc networks, but this model will be taking more power resources for doing this work. exploitation simulation examples, we have a tendency to show that physical layer cooperative communications have important impacts on the performance of topology control and network capability, and also the proposed topology management scheme will considerably improve the network capability in MANETs with cooperative communications
Performance Evaluation of Two-Level Photovoltaic Voltage Source Inverter Cons...IJERA Editor
The switching control schemesincluding sinusoidal pulsewidth modulation (SPWM) and space vector modulation (SVM) are very important for the efficiency and accuracyof the voltage source inverter (VSI). Therefore, this paper presents a performance evaluation of a two-level VSI for the photovoltaic (PV) system based on adopted switching controllers namely, SPWM and SVM switching methods. The evaluation procedure and accuracy are demonstrated and investigated using simulations conducted for a 1.5 kW inverter in a MATLAB/Simulink environment. Two types of loads are utilized to assess the performance of the VSI which are resistive (R) load and resistive and inductive (RL) load. Total harmonic distortion (THD) is used for the comparison of the SPWM and the SVM. Results show that the SVM performs better compared with the SPWM in terms of THD rate. The THDs for SVM based system are found to be 0.02% and 0.08% for the R and RL, respectively; whereas the THDsfor SPWM controller are found to be 0.43% and 0.51% for the R and RL, respectively. Furthermore, mean square error (MSE) is also consideredas a statistical indicator. The MSE indicates that the SVM switching controller technique have superior outcomes compared with the SPWM switching controller technique and thus increases the efficiency of the whole system
Design of Low Power Vedic Multiplier Based on Reversible LogicIJERA Editor
Reversible logic is a new technique to reduce the power dissipation. There is no loss of information in reversible logic and produces unique output for specified inputs and vice-versa. There is no loss of bits so the power dissipation is reduced. In this paper new design for high speed, low power and area efficient 8-bit Vedic multiplier using Urdhva Tiryakbhyam Sutra (ancient methodology of Indian mathematics) is introduced and implemented using Reversible logic to generate products with low power dissipation. UT Sutra generates partial product and sum in single step with less number of adders unit when compare to conventional booth and array multipliers which will reduce the delay and area utilized, Reversible logic will reduce the power dissipation. An 8-bit Vedic multiplier is realized using a 4-bit Vedic multiplier and modified ripple carry adders. The proposed logic blocks are implemented using Verilog HDL programming language, simulation using Xilinx ISE software

Properties of Concrete Containing Scrap-Tire RubberIJERA Editor
Solid waste management is one of the major environmental concerns all over the world and in Kuwait. Over 5 billion tons of non-hazardous solid waste materials are generated in Kuwait each year. Of these, more than 2 million scrap-tires (approximately 2 million tons) are generated each year. In addition to this, about seven million scrap-tires have been stockpiled. Due to the increasingly serious environmental problems presented by waste tires, the feasibility of using elastic and flexible tire–rubber particles as aggregate in concrete is investigated in this study. Tire–rubber particles composed of tire chips, crumb rubber, and a combination of tire chips and crumb rubber, were used to replace mineral aggregates in concrete. These particles were used to replace 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% of the total mineral aggregate’s volume in concrete. Cylindrical shape concrete specimens 15 cm in diameter and 30 cm in height were fabricated and cured. The fresh rubberized concrete exhibited lower unit weight and acceptable workability compared to plain concrete. The results of a uniaxial compressive strain control test conducted on hardened concrete specimens indicate large reductions in the strength and tangential modulus of elasticity. A significant decrease in the brittle behavior of concrete with increasing rubber content is also demonstrated using nonlinearity indices. The maximum toughness index, indicating the post failure strength of concrete, occurs in concretes with 25% rubber content. Unlike plain concrete, the failure state in rubberized concrete occurs gently and uniformly, and does not cause any separation in the specimen. Crack width and its propagation velocity in rubberized concrete are lower than those of plain concrete. Ultrasonic analysis reveals large reductions in the ultrasonic modulus and high sound absorption for tire–rubber concrete.
A Proposed Method for Safe Disposal of Consumed Photovoltaic ModulesIJERA Editor
The growth of domestic and large-scale applications of solar energy, especially photovoltaic (PV) cells which reaches annually up to 40 % worldwide since 2000, means that the technology has stepped out from demonstration phase to large-scale deployment. Several countries have started to exploit this huge potential as part of their future energy supply. Photovoltaic cells are manufactured from various semiconductors; materials that are moderately good conductors for electricity but harmful to the environment. End-of-life disposal of PV modules can be an environmental issue. However, due to the long lifespan of PV modules (25 to 30 years), currently most PV modules have not reached the disposal stage. As a result, there is very little experience and knowledge with the disposal and/or recycling techniques of PV modules. This paper proposes a method for safe disposal of solar panels after the end of their life by burying the PV cells into concrete blocks that may be used in different civil applications. Two types of PV cells (mono-crystalline & multi-crystalline) are selected to be mixed with concrete components to investigate their effect on properties of concrete. The experimental results showed that the PV cells have an effect on the concrete properties. Reduction of concrete compressive strength and density, while an increase in the concrete porosity were observed. In General, this study showed the validity of the proposed method to be further investigated for safe disposal of consumed photovoltaic modules

Transmission Congestion and Voltage Profile Management Using TCSC and TCPAR i...IJERA Editor
In present days all our basic needs are relates with electricity. As the population increases, the demand for electricity is also tremendously increases. In the past, the entire electricity industry is under the control of government and also monopolized. But now, the power industry in many countries is moving rapidly from regulated conventional setup to deregulated environment. The transmission congestion is one of the technical problems that particularly appear in the deregulated power system. If congestion is not managed we face the problems of electricity price improvement and security and stability problems. Congestion relief can be handled using FACTS device such as TCSC, TCPAR where transmission capability will be improved. These FACTS devices are optimally placed on transmission system using Sensitivity approach method. The proposed method is carried out on Modified IEEE-14 bus system and IEEE-24 bus system Using Power World Simulator17 software.
Enhancement of Power System Dynamics Using a Novel Series Compensation SchemeIJMER
Phase imbalanced capacitive compensation is a “hybrid” series compensation scheme, where the
series capacitive compensation in one phase is created using a single-phase TCSC in series with a fixed capacitor
(Cc), and the other two phases are compensated by fixed series capacitors (C). The TCSC control is initially set
such that its equivalent compensations at the power frequency combined with the fixed capacitor yield a
resultant compensation equal to the other two phases. Thus, the phase balance is maintained at the power
frequency while at any other frequency, a phase imbalance is created. The effectiveness of the scheme in damping
power system oscillations for various network conditions, namely different system faults and tie-line power flows is
evaluated using the MATLAB/SIMULINK Software
Optimization of the Thyristor Controlled Phase Shifting Transformer Using PSO...IJECEIAES
The increase of power system demand leads to the change in voltage profile, reliability requirement and system robustness against disturbance. The voltage profile can be improved by providing a source of reactive power through the addition of new power plants, capacitor banks, or implementation of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices such as Static VAR Compensator (SVC), Unified Power Flow Control (UPFC), Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC), Thyristor Controlled Phase Shifting Transformer (TCPST), and many others. Determination of optimal location and sizing of device injection is paramount to produce the best improvement of voltage profile and power losses reduction. In this paper, optimization of the combined advantages of TCPST and TCSC has been investigated using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, being applied to the 30-bus system IEEE standard. The effectiveness of the placement and sizing of TCPST-TCSC combination has been compared to the implementation of capacitor banks. The result showed that the combination of TCPST-TCSC resulted in more effective improvement of system power losses condition than the implementation of capacitor banks. The power losses reduction of 46.47% and 42.03% have been obtained using of TCPST-TCSC combination and capacitor banks respectively. The TCPSTTCSC and Capacitor Bank implementations by using PSO algorithm have also been compared with the implementation of Static VAR Compensator (SVC) using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm. The implementation of the TCSC-TCPST compensation with PSO algorithm have gave a better result than using the capacitor bank with PSO algorithm and SVC with the ABC algorithm.
Power Quality Improvement using Passive shunt filters, TCR and TSC combinationIJERA Editor
In this thesis Power Quality Improvement is examined using Passive shunt filter, TCR and TSC combination. Today’s electric power systems are connected to many non-linear loads. The characteristics of these non-linear loads inevitably change the sinusoidal nature of the a.c. power current, resulting in the flow of harmonic current in the a.c. power system. Use of shunt passive filters in the reduction of harmonics offers the advantages of more simplicity, high reliability, high efficiency and low cost. The uncontrolled ac-dc converter suffers from operating problems of poor power factor, injection of harmonics into the ac mains, variations in dc link voltage of input ac supply, equipment overheating due to harmonic current absorption, voltage distortion due to the voltage drop caused by harmonic currents flowing through system impedances etc.The combinations of passive filters with TCR and TSC are designed and analyzed to improve the power quality at ac mains. This scheme has resulted in improved power quality with overall reduced rating of passive components used in front end ac-dc converters with R-L load.

For power flow management and voltage stability limit, the appropriate position of TCSC and SVC devices is evaluated. The proposed method is implemented on a two area four machine 11 bus test system model, and the simulated results are shown to validate the test case system.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

I. I INTRODUCTION
The practices and concepts in modern power
system are experiencing rapid change along with and
due to deregulation of Electricity markets and
underlining impact of Distributed Generation.
Overloading of transmission lines due to Bilateral
Power purchase agreements and efforts to transmit
cheap power from generator bus to load bus tend to
destabilize the existing system .In order to increase
the loadability, reduce system losses and improve
system stability ,and reduction in power production
cost calls for search of new fast and better control and
compensation strategies . Flexible ac transmission
system (FACTS) such as Static Var Compensator
(SVC), Thyristor controlled series compensation
(TCSC) etchave proved to be parts of effective
control and compensation strategies [1] [2] [3] [4],
However there main function is to control the power
by controlling the parameters such as transmission
line impedances, terminal voltages and voltage angle.
In this work a methodology to choose optimal
location of SVC and TCSC using sensitivity analysis
is proposed .The proposed method put all the busses
of the system in order by voltage reactive power
sensitivity before choosing the optimal location of
compensators. The proposed method considers static
voltage and transient stability. It is simple in
compensation and suitable for large scale integrated
power system
Compensation Principle
During heavy load Reactive power and transmission
losses increases considerably, and lead to the system
voltage drop. On the other hand, no or inadequate
reactive power adjustment during light load lead to
power system voltage rise The main component of
power system are reactive, there should be a
difference between two terminal voltage values for
transmitting the reactive power, but there is limited
scope for deviation of terminal voltage from standard
ratings so reactive power can only be transmitted in a
narrow range of terminal voltages . Since reactive
power cannot be transmitted over a long distance,
reactive power compensation becomes a required part
in power system. Hence reactive power compensation
devices should have a strong adjustability and they
can operate not only at the inductive area but also
capacitive area. SVC and STATCOM are all the
devices and gradually obtained extensive application.
Transmission Line Modeling With SVC
The most common type of the static var
compensator is a device comprising of a TCR in
parallel with a fixed capacitor as shown in the Fig. 1.
It is used for dynamic shunt compensation SVC is
composed of a controllable shunt reactor and shunt
capacitor , by triggering the thyristors with a certain
preset value of the capacitor and reactor ,the
equivalent impedance of the circuit can be altered [7]
[8]. Total susceptance of the SVC can be controlled
by firing thyristors in an appropriate range of firing
angles which is typically 90 to 180 degrees. The
SVC controls the terminal bus voltage which is the
power system control variable controlled .The
terminal or V-I characteristic of SVC is illustrated in
Fig. 2.

either generate or absorb reactive power. With a
proper voltage regulator the reactive power output
can be adjusted to maintain constant terminal voltage.
It draws a small amount of active power to meet the
losses. This working mode is STATCOM .A small
drop in a system voltage leads to an instantaneous
increase in the reactive power output. The V-I
characteristic is shown in Fig. 3
Fig. 3. Voltage-Current characteristic of STATCOM
STATCOM is capable of maintaining rated current at
full boost as compared to the characteristic of SVC at
full load as shown in Fig 2 and 3.
C. Transmission Line Modeling With TCSC
The convenient conditions to control the
steady state impedance of a high voltage transmission
line is provided by adding both a Thyristor
Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and a Thyristor
Controlled Series Reactor (TCSR) [5] [6] because
series impedance of a high voltage transmission line
is usually inductive, with only 5 to 10 percent of
resistance. TCSC injected in transmission line is as
shown in Fig 4 in form of a general equivalent circuit
. The variation of line’s impedance can be achieved in
two ways. One way is by switching on or off (by
passing) the parts of the serially connected capacitor
banks (Thyristor Switched Series Capacitor) and the
other is by varying the Thyristor Controlled Reactor
(TCR) reactance, which is connected parallel to the
capacitor (Thyristor Controlled series capacitor).
Thus, TCSC can be controlled either in capacitive or
in inductive operation range depending on the
different applications [2] [6]

II. PLACEMENT STRATEGY USING
LOSS SENSITIVITY INDEX METHOD
The objective of the device placement may
be maximum power transfer in the system, reduction
in the total system real power loss, and reduction in
the real power loss of a particular line [9]. Out of this
the second objective which is the reduction in the
total system real power losses has been considered for

the location of the FACT devices as this offers best
result in terms of reduction in losses as well as in
maximization of the power transfer in the system.
Loss sensitivity index is a method based on the
sensitivity of total active and reactive power loss of
the system with respect to control variable of the
FACT devices. Considering the control parameters
i.e. line reactance (xij) for TCSC placed between
buses i and j and reactive power (Qij) for SVC placed
between the bus i and j. The power loss sensitivity
index with respect to this control variable can be
formulated for both devices as follows
aij =

These factors can be determined at a base

connected between bus i and j and having a net series
impedance of Xij and Qi is the net reactive power
injected in the bus i. The bus sensitivity index with
respect to Xij is computed as

III. CRITERIA FOR OPTIMAL
PLACEMENT
The FACTS devices should be placed on the
bus or line with highest sensitivity. When TCSC is to
be placed the location is the line with most positive
sensitivity index. and when SVC is to be placed, the
location is particular bus of the system with most
negative sensitivity index. After determining loss
sensitivity indices for each type of the FACTS
devices, following criteria shall be used for optimal
placement [10].
The TCSC should be placed on a line (m) having
most positive loss sensitivity index ak
The SVC should be placed at a bus i having most
negative sensitivity index bk
Present work includes the two different
cases namely reduction of active power losses and
reactive power losses. In each case, one of the two
FACTS controllers TCSC and SVC is included in the
problem formulation
Test results are obtained by considering
practical IEEE 5-bus system [11] [12]. OPF solution
is obtained on these systems to determine the
optimum generation schedule that satisfied the
objective of minimizing the losses from the desire
transactions and controlling of voltage magnitude.
Here the sensitivity index for both TCSC and SVC
devices has been calculated for the placement of
FACTS devices. The FACTS devices placement
method known as sensitivity index has been tested on
a 5-bus and IEEE 14 bus system. Single line diagram
of 5-bus system as shown in Fig 5.

Based upon these method sensitivities are
determined for each control parameter of TCSC and
SVC placed in every line one at a time for similar
operating condition. The sensitivity of 5-buses with
respect to TCSC and SVC control parameter are
tabulated below. The highest positive sensitivities ak
and the highest negative sensitivity index bk are
presented in bold for placement of FACTS devices,
from comprising of results on different busses and
lines the best location for placement of TCSC and
SVC can be decided.
Case 1: Five- Bus System
The five bus system with two generators and four
load buses are as shown in Fig 5.
Values of sensitivity index ak and bk for this test
system are given in table 1 and 2. After calculating
the sensitivity index for 5-bus system on TCSC and
SVC the optimal location can be obtained. The most
sensitive index is shown as bold in the following
tables.

It is evident from above tables that ak is most
positive sensitivity index between line number 3-4,
and bk has most negative sensitivity index at bus
number 2 but as the bus number 2 is generator bus
therefore SVC must be placed at bus number 3 which
has negative sensitivity index with respect to another
load buses. These values signify the location of both
TCSC and SVC devices in 5- bus system these
location offer best results in terms of increase in
active power generation with minimization of real
and reactive power losses.
After selecting the location for placing the
TCSC and SVC device in transmission line 3-4 and
bus number 3 respectively the real and reactive
powers as determined as indicated in Table III

SVC installed on bus no. 3 3.015+9.04j
SVC installed on bus no. 4 3.024+9.07j
From table III it is clear that optimal
placement of TCSC in line 3-4 is more effective than
placing the TCSC on line 4-5. System power losses
after placing TCSC in line 6-7 are shown table III
placement of TCSC on line no 7 may increase the
power flow but overall losses are increased as
compared to TCSC placed on line 6. Similarly the
placement of SVC on bus no 3 is more effective than
the placement of SVC on bus no 4 where the
objective is to maintain the voltage magnitude 1p.u
placement of SVC on bus no 3 results in less power
losses as compared to bus no 4.
After deciding the optimal location and
comparing the results on different lines and busses we
can simulate the optimal power flow on a given test
network and results can be compared with and
without FACTS devices with the objective of
minimization of active and reactive power losses on
different bus systems.
IV. TEST SYSTEM RESULTS WITH
FACTS DEVICES
This section presents power flow after
placement of the device, voltage magnitude real and
reactive powers results for base case and TCSC and
SVC devices placed in the line after finding the
sensitivity index for each bus and lines with certain
conditions are shown in table for 5-bus system.
A. Results on 5-bus system with SVC
Different values of cost, real and reactive
power losses with corresponding values of voltage
magnitude are determined and compared with base
case( no device is placed ). Shown in table IV. Here
five bus test network is tested with considering the
effect of single SVC and TCSC placed on 5-bus
system networks.
The five-bus system shown in Fig 5 is
modified to include on e SVC at bus number 3 as
shown in the Fig 6. The objective is to minimize its
active power generation cost.

Fig. 6 SVC- Upgraded Five-Bus System and Optimal
Power Flow Solution
The results obtained on five bus systems
indicate that in order to maintain the voltage
magnitude at main at 1.1 p.u. It is necessary for the
SVC to inject more reactive power. it should be noted
that the minus sign indicates injection of reactive
power. The power flow results are shown in table I by
installing the FACTS devices on bus no 3. The
optimal power flow results are 29913.12 Rs /h,
3.015MW and 9.04 MVAR. This results in decrease
in the cost and losses on the whole system network.
Results on 5-bus system with TCSC
The five-bus system in the Fig 5 is modified
to include one TCSC between bus number 3 and bus
number 4 as shown in Fig VI. The objective is to
minimize respective power losses and generation
cost. TCSC is modelled as an adjustable, nonlinear
series reactance which is a function of TCSC.
Because one of the applications of TCSC is reactive
line compensation, the TCSC is tested in this field of
operation.
The OPF solution is a achieved in seven
iteration and the device TCSC optimizes the active
power flow level in transmission line 3 and 4.
Moreover, the optimal power flow solution yields
the following minimum active generation cost and
network losses 29919.20Rs/h and 3.053 MW
respectively. The TCSC capacitive and inductive
reactance value required to achieve the results are:
Xc=0.9375% and XL=0.1625% respectively, using a
base voltage of 400kV. The OPF are shown in the Fig
7.
Fig. 7 TCSC- Upgraded Five-Bus System and
Optimal Power Flow Solution
It can be observed that optimal power flow
solution changes little compared with the base OPF
case presented in section IV When no TCSC is used.
This may be explained by the fact that the solution
achieved in section IV is already a good solution and
that the OPF is fixing the level of compensation
afforded by the TCSC to be fairly a small.
In table IV column 2, 3 and 4 of row 1,
compares the results obtained for the optimal cost of
active power generation with and without FACTS
devices. While row 3,4 and 5 provide the loss of real
and reactive power in p.u. with and without
FACTS(TCSC and SVC) installed in location
mentioned in the first column of the table III the
results are compared with the base case without
FACTS devices.
It can be observed that OPF solution changes
little compared with base OPF case presented in the
table III when no TCSC is used. This may be
explained by the fact that the solution achieved in the
table IV is already a very good solution and that the
OPF is fixing the level of compensation afforded by
TCSC to be very small.

V. CONCLUSION
A new method to seek the optimal location
and capability of shunt FACTS devices based on
sensitivity analysis is presented in this paper.
Firstly order the weak bus according to sensitivity
and then select the optimal scheme of location.
After selecting the optimal location we find active
and reactive power losses and cost with and
without FACTS devices. Simulation of IEEE 5-bus
system for different scenarios shows that the
placement of different FACTS devices improve the
power transfer capability and reduce the cost.
