| dc.description.abstract | The rapid development of flexible AC transmission technology and its immense potential for future use dictate the need to seriously consider the associated reliability benefits that can be obtained. The application of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) in modem power systems, particularly in restructured power industries, has received considerable attention in recent years. This is due to the potential reliability, economic and environmental benefits from using this new technology to avoid building new transmission lines. It is, therefore, both necessary and important to develop reliability evaluation techniques to assess the actual benefit obtained from utilizing FACTS devices in a bulk power system. This thesis describes the development of appropriate models and techniques to permit quantitative reliability evaluation of composite generation and transmission systems incorporating FACTS devices. The analyses are conducted using the contingency enumeration approach: The FACTS transmission unit is represented by a multi-state model. Two network evaluation techniques, the reinforced minimal tie set method and the modified DC load flow method are utilized to assess the impact of FACTS devices in composite power system adequacy. The developed models and techniques can be used to conduct adequacy studies on a wide range of composite power systems. The utilization of these techniques is illustrated by application to two widely used reliability test systems. The results and discussions presented in this thesis should provide valuable information to electric power utilities engaged in planning and operating FACTS devices. | |
