Description
Summary:Distributed Flexible AC Transmission Systems (DFACTS) and their allocation are emerging topics in the field of Power and Transmission Systems. They are simple yet effective tools for improving power flow control, system flexibility, and overall reliability. Line switching, on the other hand, refers to the practice of disconnecting transmission lines to change the topology of the transmission network and reroute the power flow. This study proposes a co-optimization model of D-FACTS and transmission switching and analyzes the synergy between the installation of D-FACT devices and line switching practices to reduce both the operating costs and environmental impacts of power systems. Case studies were carried out on a modified RTS96 test system, and results show favorable results when implementing both practices in the test system.
