ABSTRACT
This paper deals with Power flow, which is necessary for any power system solution and carry
out a comprehensive study of the Newton- Raphson method of power flow analysis with and without
SVC. Voltage stability analysis is the major concern in order to operate any power system as
secured. This paper presents the investigation on N-R power flow enhancement of voltage stability
and power loss minimization with & without FACTS controllers such as Static Var Compensator
(SVC) device. The Static Var Compensator (SVC) provides a promising means to control power
flow in modern power systems. In this paper the Newton-Raphson is used to investigate its effect on
voltage profile and power system lossess with and without SVC in power system.. Simulations
investigate the effect of voltage magnitude and angle with and without SVC on the power flow of
the system. This survey article will be very much useful to the researchers for finding out the
relevant references in the field of Newton-Raphson power flow control with SVC in power systems.
In order to reach the above goals, these devices must be located optimally. In this paper the
Optimal placement of SVC is carried out by Voltage collapse Prediction Index (VCPI).The size of
the SVC is determined by suitable firing angle which reduces the losses in the system. Simulations
have been implemented in MATLAB Software and the IEEE 14 and IEEE 57-bus systems have been
used as case studies.

Firing Angle SVC Model for Analyzing the Performance of Transmission Network using Newton Raphson Load
Flow
1. INTRODUCTION
The operation of power system is becoming more and more challenging because of continuously
increasing load demand which is leading to an augmented stress of the transmission lines, voltage
instability, increase in loss and cost. To meet the ever increasing demand it is now essential to maximize
the utilization of the existing transmission system. In recent years, due to advancement in high power
solidstate switches, transmission controllers have been developed which provides more flexibility and
controllability. A new solution for controlling power flow known as FACTS was introduced in 1988 by
Hingorani [1]. FACTS devices have made the power system operation more flexible and secure. They have
the ability to control, in a fast and effective manner. FACTS controllers minimizes loss, enhance the
voltage profile and the load ability of power systems. FACTS devices include Thyristor Controlled Series
Compensator (TCSC), Static VAR Compensator (SVC), Static Compensator (STATCOM), Unified Power
Flow Controller (UPFC), etc.
In this paper, SVC is used for several reasons. The most widely used shunt FACTS devices within
power networks is the SVC due to its low cost and good performance in system enhancement. It is more
conventional and available. SVC can control voltage with higher level of accuracy. It is a shunt connected
static VAR generator or absorber whose output is adjusted to exchange capacitive or inductive current so
as to provide voltage support and when installed in a proper location, it can also reduce power losses [27].
For these reasons, SVC is chosen over other FACTS devices in this paper.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
In the literature many people proposed different concepts about the placement and sizing of the SVC.
Hadi Saadat Presented Real and Reactive Power flow equations in polar form by considering two bus
power system. A Jacobean matrix is then constructed and Newton Raphson method is used to solve these
equations [1]. Hingorani N.G et.al presented about the Fast development of power electronics introduces
the use of flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) controllers in power systems. The main benefit of
FACTS devices is reduction of operation and transmission investment costs, increasing the power transfer
capabilities, system security, controlling power flow in the lines and in improving stability [2]. [3]-[4]
papers refer that , SVCs are the combination of mechanically controlled and thyristor controlled shunt
capacitors and reactors. Ref [5]-[6] papers proposed the most popular model of SVC's is the combination
of either fix capacitor and thyristor controlled reactor or thyristor switched capacitor and thyristor
controlled reactor .Ref[7]-[10] papers proposes Existing Basic model of SVC and the novel Firing angle
model for Static VAR Compensator (SVC) FACTS devices. In that paper, it explains the power electronic
development, fixed capacitor and reactor reactive power compensator has replaced with variable reactance
reactive power compensator. Kumar, G.R et.al presented about load flow analysis with incorporated
FACTS controllers in multimachine power systems from different operating conditions viewpoint. The
Newton Raphson Methods have been proposed in literatures includes for different types of Modeling of
Series FACTS controllers[11] .B.Venkateswara rao et.al explains the Implementation of Static VAR
Compensator for Improvement of Power System Stability[12] Sahoo et.al (2007) proposed the basic
modeling of the FACTS devices for improving the system performance[13].Zhang, X.P et.al explains
Jacobian Matrix of Power flow Newton Raphson algorithm and Newton Raphson strong convergence
characteristics [14].Gotham.D.J and G.T Heydt (1998) detailed about the optimal location of FACTS
devices allows controlling its power flows and thus enhances the reliability of the power systems
[15].Povh.D(2000) proposed the nice concepts of the modeling of the power systems and the impact of the
FACTS devices on the transmission network [16]. Ref [17]-[20] papers presented the lot of techniques
have been developed in predicting the closeness of the system to voltage instability in order to counteract
this effect. The prediction is based on voltage collapse prediction index [VCPI] have been used to identify
the bus which is more prone to voltage instability. Modelling of the FACTS devices with various
techniques with complete computer programming and the operating state determine the maximum power

compensators in the system was proposed by Radman.G and R.S Raje [22].The important concepts of the
power systems with different load flow was proposed by Stagg.G.W et.al(1968) [23]. Tong Zhu and Gamg
Haung proposed (1999) the accurate points of the buses which were suitable for the FACTS devices
installation [24].P.Kessal and H. Glavitsch (1986) proposed increase the transmission capability,
improvement of stability by installing FACTS devices in transmission network [25].
3. NEWTON RAPHSON METHOD OF POWER FLOW
The Newton-Raphson method is widely used for solving non-linear equations. It transforms the original
non-linear problem into a sequence of linear problems whose solutions approach the solutions of the
original problem. Load-flow studies [7] are very common in power system analysis. Load flow allows us
to know the present state of a system, given previous known parameters and values. The power that is
flowing through the transmission line, the power that is being generated by the generators, the power that
is being consumed by the loads, the losses occurring during the transfer of power from source to load, and
so on, are iteratively decided by the load flow solution, or also known as power flow solution. In any
system, the most important quantity which is known or which is to be determined is the voltage at different
points throughout the system. Knowing these, we can easily find out the currents flowing through each
point or branch.
Since within the power flow problem real power and voltage magnitude are nominal for the voltage-
controlled buses, the power flow equations [1] are developed in polar type. For the standard bus of the
facility system shown in Figure 1

The power mismatch equations ΔP and ΔQ are expanded around a base point (θ(0),V(0)) and, hence,
the power flow Newton–Raphson algorithm is expressed by the following relationship.

4. SHUNT COMPENSATION
Shunt compensation is widely used in power system to enhance loadability and to improve voltage
stability. At buses where reactive power demand increases, bus voltage can be controlled by
connecting capacitor banks in parallel to a lagging load . Capacitor banks supply part of or full
reactive power of load, thus reducing magnitude of the source current necessary to supply load.
Consequently the voltage drop between the sending end and the load gets reduced, power factor will
be improved and increased active power output will be available from the source. Depending upon
load demand, capacitor banks may be permanently connected to the system or can be varied by
switching ON or OFF the parallel connected capacitors either manually or automatically (M.L.Soni,
P.V.Gupta and U.S.Bhatnagar, 1994).
Shunt compensation is of two types:

transmission line, power factor lags because of lagging load current. To

The Examples of shunt compensation are Thyristor controlled reactor (TCR), Static Synchronous
Compensator (STATCOM), Thyristor
etc.
5. STATIC VAR COMPENSAT
A static var compensator ( SVC ) is the first generation shunt compensator. It has been around since 1960s.
In the beginning it was used for load compensat
loads, for flicker mitigation etc. However with the advancement of semiconductor technology, the SVC
started appearing in the transmission systems in 1970s. Today a large number of SVCs are connected
many transmission systems all over the world. An SVC is constructed using the thyristor technology and
therefore does not have gate turn off capability.
A typical SVC consists of Thyristor
(TSCs) or a fixed Capacitor in parallel. The output of the compensator is controlled in steps by sequentially
switching of TCRs and TSCs . The need for harmonic filtering as part of the compensator scheme could be
eliminated by stepwise switching of reactors r

7. VOLTAGE COLLAPSE PREDICTION INDEX (VCPI)
The technique [VCPI] is derived from the basic power flow equation. The technique is applicable for any
number of buses in a system. It needs the voltage phasor information of the participating buses in the
system and the network admittance matrix. Using the measured voltage phasors and the network
admittance matrix of the system, the voltage collapse prediction index (VCPI) is calculated at every bus.
The values of these indexes determine the proximity to voltage collapse at a bus. The detailed derivation of
the technique [VCPI] is given in Appendix 7 of the Ref [17] paper. The power flow equations are resolved
by Newton Raphson methodology that creates a partial matrix. By setting the determinant of the matrix to
zero, the index at bus k is written as follows:

N is the bus set of the system
The value of VCPI varies between zero and one. If the index is zero, the voltage at bus k is taken into
account stable and if the index is unity, a voltage collapse is claimed to occur. VCPI is calculated solely
with info of voltage phasor of taking part buses and impedance of relating lines. The calculation is
straightforward while not matrix conversion. The technique offers quick calculation which may be applied
for on-line watching of the power system

are 26.864 MW and 119.27 MVar and for two SVC’s 26.424 MW & 115.27 MVar.
9. CONCLUSION
In this paper, the optimal location and optimal sizing of SVC device is find out to minimize voltage
deviation and the active power losses in the power system network using Newton Raphson Technique. The
Firing Angle Model of Static VAR Compensator (SVC) using Newton Raphson method has been
implemented on IEEE 14 and 57 bus test systems to investigate the performance of power transmission
line in absence as well as in presence of single and double SVC devices. It is found that during presence of
single SVC there is reduction of real and reactive power losses and also voltage profile improvement as
compared to absence of SVC and with double SVCs also there is reduction in losses and there is more
improvement in voltage profiles .The results obtained by application of the N-R technique during firing-
angle model based control are found to be very much similar with the reactance model. It is noted that as
compared to Reactance method, the implementation of the firing-angle based control of SVC using NR
technique is much easier. It is also noted that the firing-angle calculation of SVC using firing-angle model
based control is much easier as compared to impedance model based control.and this proposed method is
better than earlier published works like reactance models and power injection models.
