This paper develops a novel strategy for the expansion of the power system corridors for the release of the embedded transmission capacity. Both theoretical and practical network models are presented with a focus on power flow studies which concentrates on the steady state or static behavior of electrical power system. The methodology involves the power flow analysis revalidation of the existing standard IEEE 14 bus system and simulation using Newton- Raphson method in both MATLAB and Powerworld simulator (PWS) environment. This paper therefore establishes that an original designed network could be modified to take more loads without building new generators or transmission lines. The expansion of the existing IEEE 14 bus network to accommodate more load involves the use of static compensators incorporated at the transmission lines. This technique is then analyzed extensively when dist.. Read More»
