Use of phasor measurements for modeling FACTS at the electric power system state estimation

As the Smart Grid is being developed in the Russian Federation, a need in FACTS arises at resolving the issues of increasing the transmission capacity of electric power lines, voltage control, etc. The paper considers the issues of installing phasor measurement units (PMU) at the FACTS for the electric power system state estimation of (EPS SE). The relevance of the paper is explained by the mandatory introduction of PMUs at newly commissioned power engineering facilities (PEF) scheduled for 2020 and farther. PMUs registering voltage and current phasors at FACTS allow increasing the precision of results of the EPS SE problem and improving the electric modes at the considered PEF
