Abstract
In the planning and design of a high-voltage transmission network it is sometimes desirable to install controllable kilovar ar capacity at several locations to support bus voltages during emergencies. This problem arises when transmission line or generation outages cause bus voltage magnitudes to decrease below desirable limits. The problem of selecting where and how much kilovar capacity is required has many feasible solutions which satisfy the conditions imposed. A method for locating that solution with the minimum total installed capacity is presented. This nonlinear programming problem will be solved by using a linear approximation, solving the linear programming problem, and then correcting the linear approximation through the use of differences between the linear and nonlinear results. The method is illustrated by an application to a portion of a large high-voltage network.Keywords
