Abstract


Power system reliability refers to the ability of the system to satisfy the required power demand with sufficient generation and transmission. When a contingency occurs and in order to ensure the secure operation of the power system, load shedding might be needed to avoid the violation of the system security constraints. Adding series compensation will improve the ability of the system to meet the required demand by enhancing the transmission capacity, thus avoiding or reducing the dependence on load shedding. This leads to a reduction in the load curtailment during contingencies and an improvement of the overall reliability of the transmission system. However, the impact of the series compensation on the load curtailment depends on the parameters of the transmission network. The primary aim of this paper is to study the impact of adding series compensation on the power system reliability indices such as the Expected Energy Not Supplied (EENS) and the Expected Load Curtailment (ELC) by using the contingency enumeration method and the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). The reliability indices are evaluated on the IEEE 30-bus system using two different load shedding techniques in order to achieve the minimum load curtailments for each transmission line contingency. The impact of series compensation on system reliability is assessed during contingencies, where the placement and the settings of the series compensation device are determined to reduce ELC and EENS indices and improve the overall reliability of the transmission system.
