VOLTAGE PROFILE IMPROVEMENT USING SVC INCORPORATING PARTICIPATION FACTOR

Abstract

This Paper identify the weakest bus in a distribution network. In heavily loaded systems, voltage stability limit is usually dominant and voltage instability is usually observed following large disturbance. More attention is required to be paid to keep voltage profile and hold the voltage stability under control. In this paper simple voltage stability analysis is carried out for IEEE 30 Bus System using Bus participation factor. Paper presents a bus participation factor used to identify the weakest bus and SVCs are used to improve voltage profile.
