Review On FACTS Devices for Power System Stability Enhancement

Abstract

Due to increase in population and industrial growth, insufficient energy resources to generate or transmit the power in power system, increase in load causes power demand in the electrical power system. These power demand leads to voltage instability, increase the losses, reduces the power transfer capability and stability of the power system. To overcome this stability problem FACTS devices are optimally located in the power system to examine the stability of the system. To locate the FACTS devices different optimization algorithms are used in order to improve the stability of the electrical power system.
