Abstract

Every transmission system has voltage stability limit which may lead to voltage collapse if an undetected bulk transmission network is operated close to its operating limit. This research work uses continuation power flow method to identify voltage collapse point for Bangladesh Power System Network (BPSN). For the identification of weak buses, an analytical based technique of tangent factor has been presented. The risk of voltage collapse has been mitigated by placing SVCs at the weak buses of the system using load flow analysis. Moreover, sensitivity based approach has been introduced to determine optimal location of Static VAR Compensator (SVC) for the voltage security enhancement. A comparative analysis has been documented considering the size of reactive power to improve the loading factor of the overall network at the end of this work.
