Abstract

This paper describes the transient stability studies of the East-West interconnected System (EWIS) of Bangladesh Power System (BPS) using Static VAR Compensator (SVC). With the enhancement of power transfer, transient stability is main issue for reliable operation. The assessment of a transient stability is an extremely intricate and highly non-linear problem for large scale interconnected power system. To mitigate this problem, a considerable research with an SVC controller has been evident in the industry. Static VAR Compensator (SVC) is a shunt connected FACTS devices, and plays an important role as a stability support for dynamic and transient disturbances in power system. In this work the modelling of SVC for transient stability enhancement is studied and tested in the East-West interconnected System (EWIS) of Bangladesh Power System (BPS) network.
