I. INTRODUCTION
Due to increase in demand, the transmission
system becomes more stressed, which in turn,
makes the system more vulnerable to voltage
instability. Voltage stability has become an
increasingly important phenomenon in the
operation and planning of the present day power
systems. Voltage collapse is a process in which the
appearance of sequential events together with the
voltage instability in a large area of system can lead
to the case of unacceptable low voltage condition in
the network. Increasing load can lead to excessive
demand of reactive power and system will show
voltage instability [1]. If additional resources
provide sufficient reactive power support, the
system will be established in a stable voltage level.
If there are not sufficient reactive power resources
and the excessive demand of reactive power can
lead to voltage collapse.
A number of methods for voltage stability
analysis have been suggested such as P-V curves,
QV curves, Modal analysis etc. A number of voltage
stability indices such as Voltage Collapse Proximity
Indicator (VCPI), the minimum singular value of
power flow Jacobian matrix, the loading margin,
minimum eigen value of reduced Jacobian Matrix
have been proposed in the literature to estimate the
proximity of the power system to voltage stability
and voltage collapse [2]. The application of PV
curves is to evaluate the voltage stability of a power
system for various loading conditions and
contingencies.
FACTS controllers are used to enhance power
system performance. These controllers can reduce
electrical distances, modify power flows and absorb
or provide reactive power. It increases all types of
stability of the system. FACTS controllers provide
fast and reliable control over the three main
transmission parameters, i.e. voltage magnitude,
phase angle and line impedance [3].
This paper presents the modeling of Newton
Raphson Power flow method for estimating the
voltage stability of a system with and without SVC
FACTS controller using Mipower software
II. CONVENTIONAL POWER FLOW
A. Electrical Transmission Networks
The main objective of a power flow study is to
determine the steady-state operating condition of
the electrical power network. The steady-state may
be determined by finding out, for a given set of

loading conditions, the flow of active and reactive
powers throughout the network and the voltage
magnitudes and phase angles at all buses of the
network [4]. The information conveyed by such
studies indicates whether or not the nodal voltage
magnitudes and active and reactive power flows in
transmission a line is within prescribed operating
limits. If the study predicts that the power flow in a
given transmission line is beyond the power
carrying capacity of the line, then control action is
taken.
B. Power Flow Equations
A popular approach to assess the steady-state
operation of a power system is to write equations
stipulating that at a given bus the generation, load,
and powers exchanged through the transmission
elements connecting to the bus must add up to
zero[5]. This applies to both active power and
reactive power. These equations are termed
„mismatch power equations‟ and at bus k they take
the following form:

In order to develop suitable power flow equations, it
is necessary to find relationships between injected
bus currents and bus voltages. Based on Fig.1 the

practical power system will consist of many buses
and many transmission elements. This calls for
Equations (12) and (13) to be expressed in more

III. POWER FLOW INCLUDING FACTS CONTROLLERS
A. FACTS Technology
In an A.C power flow, the electrical generation
and load must be balanced all the times. Since the
electrical system is self-regulating, therefore, if one
of the generators supplies less power than the load,
the voltage and frequency drop, thereby load goes
on decreasing to equalize the generated power by
subtracting the transmission losses. However there
is small margin of self-regulating. If voltage is
dropped due to reactive power, the load will go up
and frequency goes on decreasing and the system
will collapse ultimately. Also the system will
collapse if there is a large reactive power available
in it. In case of high power generation the active
power flows from surplus generating area to the
deficit area [5].
Recent development of power electronics
introduces the use of FACTS controllers in power
systems. FACTS controllers are capable of
controlling the network condition in a very fast
manner and this feature of FACTS can be exploited
to improve the voltage stability, and steady state
and transient stabilities of a complex power system
[6]. This allows increased utilization of existing
network closer to its thermal loading capacity, and
thus avoiding the need to construct new
transmission lines. The well known FACTS devices
are namely SVC, STATCOM, TCSC, SSSC and
UPFC.
B. Shunt Compensation
The steady state transmittable power can be
increased and the voltage profile along the line can
be controlled by appropriate reactive shunt
compensation. To change the natural electrical
characteristics of the transmission line and to
make it more compatible with prevailing load
demand. Under the shunt compensation, the
shunt connected, fixed or mechanically switched
reactors are applied to minimize line over voltage
under light load conditions. Shunt connected fixed
or mechanically switched capacitors are applied to
maintain voltage levels under heavy load
conditions. The basic consideration/objective is to
increase the transmittable power by shunt
connected VAR-Compensation.
VAR-Compensation is also used for voltage
regulation at the mid-point to segment the
transmission line. VAR-compensation is also used
at the end of the line to prevent voltage instability
and also to improve dynamic voltage control to
increase the transient stability and damped power
C. Static VAR Compensator
SVC is a static Var compensator which is
connected in parallel to transmission line. SVC
acts as a generator/load, whose output is adjusted
to exchange capacitive or inductive current so as to
maintain or control specific power system variables
[7]. Static Var systems are applied by utilities in
transmission applications for several purposes.
The primary purpose is usually for rapid control of
voltage at weak points in a network. SVC is similar
to a synchronous condenser but without rotating
part in that it is used to supply or absorb reactive
power. The basic structure of SVC is shown in Fig.
2. The SVC is connected to a coupling transformer
that is connected directly to the ac bus whose
voltage is to be regulated. From Fig. 1, SVC is
composed of a controllable shunt reactor and
shunt capacitor(s). Total susceptance of SVC can
be controlled by controlling the firing angle of
thyristors. However, the SVC acts like fixed
capacitor or fixed inductor at the maximum and
minimum limits

Figure 2.Static VAR Compensator
C.1. Shunt Variable Susceptance Model
In practice the SVC can be seen as an
adjustable reactance with either firing-angle limits
or reactance limits [8]. The equivalent circuit
shown in Figure is used to derive the SVC
nonlinear power equations and the linearised
equations required by Newton‟s method.
Figure 3.Variable shunt susceptance
With reference to Fig. 3, the current drawn by the
SVC is

and the reactive power drawn by the SVC, which is
also the reactive power injected at bus k, is

The linearised equation is given by Equation (5.6),
where the equivalent susceptance BSVC is taken to

The changing susceptance represents the total
SVC susceptance necessary to maintain the nodal
voltage magnitude at the specified value. Once the
level of compensation has been computed then the
thyristor firing angle can be calculated. However,
the additional calculation requires an iterative
solution because the SVC susceptance and
thyristor firing angle are nonlinearly related.
IV. METHODOLOGY
A. Load Flow
One of the most common computational
procedures used in power system analysis is the
load flow calculation. The planning, design, and
operation of power systems require such
calculations to analyze the steady-state (quiescent)
performance of the power system under various
operating conditions and to study the effects of
changes in equipment configuration. These load
flow solutions are performed using computer
programs designed specifically for this purpose [9].
The basic load flow question is this: Given the load
power consumption at all buses of a known electric
power system configuration and the power
production at each generator, find the power flow
in each line and transformer of the interconnecting
network and the voltage magnitude and phase
angle at each bus.
Analyzing the solution of this problem for
numerous conditions helps to ensure the power
system is designed to satisfy its performance
criteria while incurring the most favorable
investment and operation costs. Computer
programs to solve load flow studies are divided into
two types: static (offline) and dynamic (real time).
Most load flow studies for system analysis are
based on static network models. Real time load
flows (online) that incorporate data input from the
actual networks are typically used by utilities in
Automatic Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Such systems are
used primarily as operating tools for optimization
of generation, VAr control, dispatch, losses, and tie
line control. This report is concerned on static
network models and their analysis only [10].

C. Load flow results without SVC
In order to conduct load flow studies, a practical
system has been considered based on the inputs
provided by PRDC. In this case Bhutan power
system has been considered for analysis. There are
three reasons why it is necessary to manage
reactive power and control voltage. First, both
customer and power system equipment are
designed to operate within a range of voltages,
usually within ±5% of the nominal voltage. At low
voltages, many types of equipment perform poorly,
light bulbs provide less illumination, induction
motors can overheat and be damaged, and some
electronic equipment will not operate at. High

voltages can damage equipment and shorten their
lifetimes. Second, reactive power consumes
transmission and generation resources. To
maximize the amount of real power that can be
transferred across a congested transmission
interface, reactive power flows must be minimized.
Similarly, reactive power production can limit a
generator‟s real power capability. Third, moving
reactive power on the transmission system incurs
real power losses. Both capacity and energy must
be supplied to replace these losses.

D. Load flow analysis with SVC
A static var compensator connected to a line
having a capacitor (+100,var) and a reactor (-100
Mvar) for producing and absorbing reactive power,
respectively, capacitor for providing, in
combination with the capacitor and the reactor, a
maximum leading reactive capacity so as to
effectively reduce the capacities of the elements
and for compensating for changes in reactive power
resulting from a current fluctuation in response to
a load fluctuation. The reactor increases the
reactive power produced by the capacitor when the
reactive power absorbed by the reactor is
low and decreases the reactive power produced by
the capacitor when the reactive power absorbed by
reactor is high. Here SVC is connected at bus
number 19 with load 19 having 330MW as shown
in fig. 6.

V. CONCLUSION
In this paper presents a shunt type FACTS device
SVC connected across the load to improve the
power flow and to maintain the reactive power in
real data transmission line power system using
MiPower software. The power flow for the real data
system is analyzed without and with FACTS
devices performing the Newton-Raphson method
using MiPower software. The largest power flow
takes place in the transmission line connecting the
bus is identified and SVC is connected to that bus.

Thus SVC upholds its target value and as expected
identical power flows and bus voltages are obtained
for a shunt variable susceptance Model.
