Abstract
Shunt FACTS devices, such as, a Static Var Compensator
(SVC), are capable of providing local reactive power
compensation. They are widely used in the network to reduce
the real power loss and improve the voltage profile. This paper
proposes a planning model based on mixed integer conic programming
(MICP) to optimally allocate SVCs in the transmission
network considering load uncertainty. The load uncertainties
are represented by a number of scenarios. Reformulation and
linearization techniques are utilized to transform the original
non-convex model into a convex second order cone programming
(SOCP) model. Numerical case studies based on the IEEE 30-bus
system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed planning
model.
