Optimal location of FACTS devices for congestion management and loadability enhancement
Due to the growth of electricity demands and transactions in power markets, existing power networks need to be enhanced in order to increase their loadability. Two types of FACTS devices, SVC and TCSC, can be installed on buses and transmission lines to relieve congestion and enhance the loadability...
