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.

B. Transmission Line Modeling With STATCOM
If a synchronous machine is running without
a prime mover or a mechanical load then by simply
controlling the field excitation it can be made to
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

These factors can be determined at a base

connected between bus i and j and having a net series

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.
Fig. 5. Five bus systems

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.

2 -0.0306
3 0.1218

5 0.1923
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
Table III

TCSC installed between 4-5(7) 3.052+9.13j
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.
