Design of static Var compensator (SVC) for improving power supply of solar energy connected to the grid

Abstract

Development of renewable energy technologies has increased worldwide. Power systems, underneath intensely loaded situations, are at ultra-hazards of credible line outage and consequent voltage unreliability problem. Real power drop and voltage divergence minimization are measures of voltage security of power system grids. The work recommends the optimal usage of the SVC in the enhancement of the voltage stability. Promoting renewable energies has benefits not only for the environment but also for the economic conditions of the country. The challenging of voltage collapse has been expressed as an optimization problem based on the process of particle swarm optimization (PSO), applied in the study of voltage stability of a power system. The success of the projected algorithm confirmed in IEEE-14 Bus standard test system.
