Analysis of Transmission Congestion Management System Using Static Var Compensator (SVC) by Power World Simulator's software

Abstract

Privatization and deregulation will not only increase competition in the electricity market, but will also result in increased output and consumption. This is likely to put additional strain on the transmission system, clogging it up. As a result, congestion management is a fundamental issue in transmission management. The purpose of this work is to develop an analysis tool for the power market in order to address the problem of congestion management. The tool establishes a connection between the Power World Simulator and other professional software tools for computing power flow. The tool analyses power flow data and performs batch processing on large case studies using the IEEE 30-bus system to simulate the electricity market and validate the proposed method. The results demonstrate that when Static Var Compensator is included, the amount of re-dispatched power significantly decreases, resulting in an optimal operating point that is closer to the one influenced by market settlement. Additionally, it is established that Static Var Compensator is a viable option for congestion management, both technically and economically.
