Abstract

In the past few decades, the demand for electricity has increased substantially. A number of factors affect this rapid rise in electricity demand. With this increased demand the role of transmission network becomes crucial for suitable operation, especially under restructured environment. The different limitations such as stability limit, voltage limit and thermal limits enforce restrictions on power wheeling capability of transmission lines. The major issues associated with power industry especially in the pool-based market are the recovery of transmission costs apportioned between the diverse. Restructuring of the electricity supply industry has taken place around the world. This restructuring consists of various new aspects such as transmission embedded cost allocation, reactive power cost allocation, transmission loss allocation, the impact of power flow regulating devices etc. Many methodologies and algorithms were proposed for addressing these issues. In this paper, FACTS incorporated power flow model is used for the determination of flow of real and reactive power by using the power flow tracing principle, which involves matrix properties for the real and reactive power allocation and cost allocation for different participants. FACTS devices which have the capability of regulating the power flow and voltage support at the buses. Hence UPFC incorporated in the transmission system have been considered in this paper. Comparative results with and without FACT controller are present for the sample 5 bus system and methodology also tested on IEEE 14 bus system.
