DFACTS Devices in Asymmetrical Power Grids: a Case Study

Over the last decades, the study of the asymmetrical power flow in distribution systems has come to play a crucial role. That is because of the increased number of asymmetrical loads given the high penetration of distributed generation within these distribution networks. Thus, the goal of this paper is to conduct a comparison of the voltage profiles and power losses in a grid based on the IEEE 34 bus topology, over 24 h, when an SVC (Static Var Compensator) and a shunt are connected to a node where a student residence is also connected.
