文摘This paper deals with power transfer capability enhancement using two common Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems （FACTS） devices, Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor （TCSC） and Static Var Compensator （SVC）. For this purpose, at first the optimal place of TCSC and SVC is investigated and the optimal size is determined. At the end, a comparison is made between the two FACTS devices. For calculating Available Transfer Capability （ATC）, Repeated Power-Flow （RPF） rule used, and the network limitations such as voltage, stability, thermal capacity, and power generation limits are taken into consideration. The proposed algorithm is run on a sample network. Results show effectiveness of TCSC in situations where the thermal limit is the dominant limitation of the network. In such situations, SVC is almost useless. It was also seen that under conditions of voltage limitations, both elements are helpful for the enhancement of ATC.
