Optimal Allocation Of Shunt Compensation And Maximum Loadability Assessment On IEEE-14 Bus Test System

The demand of power is increasing day by day in developing countries. It is required that the existing transmission interconnection network is utilized fully to deliver the power demanded, maintaining its quality. This paper intends to place shunt compensation at an optimal position so as to maintain the voltage at various buses in the network within a narrow range. MATLAB program is developed and load flow studies are tested on 14-bus system and optimal value as well as the position of the compensation is obtained. Finally the networks ability to be loaded is decided with given capacity of the compensation.
