Abstract

This paper presents a literature survey on applications of shunt connected Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) such as Static VAR Compensator (SVC), Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) for enhancement of voltage stability, minimization of the real power losses and also to provide the flexible operation & better controllability etc. Because of economic considerations, identifying the best location for installing the SVC and STATCOM is also important. The FACTS devices placement problem is commonly solved using heuristic optimization techniques. The paper also presents a review of various heuristic optimization techniques applied to determine optimal placement and sizing of the SVC and STATCOM.
