Enhancing Power System Efficiency and Minimizing Power Losses Through Reactive Power Compensation Techniques and Facts-HVDC Integration

Abstract

This paper aims to improve overall system efficiency, reduce energy waste, and optimize the use of network infrastructure by minimizing power loss in power systems. Power losses in electrical systems primarily occur due to resistive losses in transmission and distribution lines, transformers, and other components. Reactive power compensation techniques, including shunt capacitors, SVCs, and synchronous condensers, are evaluated for their impact on reducing resistive power losses and improving overall system efficiency. Various parameters, such as voltage profiles, power factor, power transfer capacity, transmission losses, and stability parameters, are used to evaluate the performance of the power system.
