Optimal Placement and Sizing of SVC in Power Systems for Voltage Stability Enhancement

This book focuses on the simulation and analysis of IEEE 9-bus and 14-bus test systems using MATLAB programming and software tools such as MIPOWER and POWERWORLD. It explores contingency ranking in the context of n-1 contingencies, identifying the most severe cases based on voltage stability indices. The book also investigates the optimal placement of shunt compensators using several voltage stability indices, including P-V curves, L-index, Voltage Collapse Proximity Index (VCPI), FVSI, and LLI. Additionally, it presents a novel reactive power loss-based iterative solution and compares it with traditional methods, offering a comprehensive guide to voltage stability and compensator placement.
