Abstract

This paper represents voltage stability analysis of the Bursa transmission system including a new installed wind farm for both normal operation and contingencies. The system is analyzed using static approaches in which continuation power flow method (CPF) and sensitivity information from tangent vector analysis are performed. Voltage stability of the system is investigated for peak load conditions of 2008. Simulation results demonstrate effect of the new installed wind farm on static voltage stability of the Bursa transmission system and identfy the weakest bus. In order to improve the voltage stability of the system, FACTS devices such as STATCOM and SVC is used. Simulation results also present the acts of STATCOM and SVC and suitable location of these devices.
