Compensación Reactiva en Redes Eléctricas de Transmisión Basado en Programación no Lineal Considerando Ubicación Óptima de Svc

The transmission subsystem in electrical power systems is very important, since it is responsible for carrying electrical energy from generation to the sub-transmission stage and then to be distributed. The applications of the FACTS SVC in the bars of the electrical power system are varied; these devices allow us to modify the power flow in the power system, in order to maximize the capacity of the transmission lines; the location of these reactive power compensator elements has a high cost, so it is necessary to locate them in an optimal and intelligent way, in order to make the investment feasible. In this research we present a methodology to minimize the deviation of the magnitudes of the voltage profiles, for which we analyze the behavior before and after reactive compensation in transmission networks by nonlinear programming considering optimal location of SVC in the models of 14 and 30 bars of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). Finally, the location of reactive power compensators in the SEP busbars improves the voltage profiles in each bus, minimizes investment costs and reduces active and reactive power losses in the transmission lines.
