| Abstract: | The Nigerian North-East 330kV power network is characterized by low voltage and voltages outside acceptable limits that hinder quality power supply. Voltage profile of a power network provides a measure of the quality of power supply. The STATCOM is modelled and simulation is carried out in Power System Computer Aided Design (PSCAD) to enhance the voltage profile of the Nigerian 330kV Transmission Network. Ant colony algorithm is used to optimally place STATCOM on the Network. During a low voltage state on the Network, the system generates reactive power (STATCOM capacitive boosting effect). However, when the Network voltage is high, it absorbs reactive power (STATCOM inductive control effect), thus stabilizing the power network. |
