Inhaltsangabe

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Electrotechnology, , language: English, abstract: The aim of the study is to model FACTS devices on weak transmission line in the Nigeria power network and consider their effect on the bus voltages, reactive and active power using genetic algorithm(GA) approach for loss minimization. The Nigeria 330KV existing network to be considered consist of nine (9) generating stations, thirty(30)Buses and forty one (41) transmission lines which will be modelled and simulated using Matlab Version 7.10. The study is limited to Nigeria 330kV existing power network with the focus on the comparison of the Bus voltages and power flow on the transmission lines when FACTS devices are incorporated and when the FACTS devices are not incorporated. Research Questions: For the realization of the objectives mentioned above and the aim, the following research questions were set as a guide: 1. What is the significant effect of FACTS devices on weak transmission lines? 2. Can FACTS device be used with genetic algorithm for optimization of power loss and improvement of the bus voltages? 3. What is the limitation of using just genetic algorithm without FACTS device for the optimization of power loss and the improvement of the bus voltages? This research work is divided into five chapters with each chapter buttressing more on minimization of power loss. The scope of the work , the objective and aim of the research work to be achieved is addressed in chapter one (1). Chapter two(2) focus on the literature review of other researchers on FACTS device in the improvement of the power network, the concept of FACTS device and the choice of FACTS device to be used was also addressed in chapter two (2) of this research work. Chapter three focus on the methodology used for this study. The simulation of the 330kV Nigeria power network was done on MATLAB /SIMULINK 7.5. Also the chapter three focused on the use of power flow analysis
