Torabipour MSc Student, Shahed University, Tehran, Iran A.R. Gholami MSc Student, Shahed University, Tehran, Iran Y. Shahsavari MSc Student, Shahed University, Tehran, Iran Journal Article 2024 02 25 In this paper, reliability of power system has been studied based on different Static Var Compensator (SVC) locations in power system. First, reliability model of SVC has been presented and then reliability indices of power system have been introduced. Furthermore, three different scenarios have been considered for SVC placement and these scenarios have been compared based on different reliability factors and losses of power system. It has been shown that each scenario may give unique solution for optimization problem based on reliability indices and losses. Also, it has been discussed that number of SVCs directly affects reliability and losses of power system, but increases cost of operation.
