| Abstract: Electric power systems have been forced to operate to almost their capacities due to the environmental and economic constraints to build new generating plants and transmission lines. The basic requirement of power system is to meet the demand that varies continuously. The amount of power delivered by the power companies must be equal to that of consumer’s need. Unfortunately nobody guarantees that unexpected things such as generator fault or line fault and line tripping would not happen. Congestion is a result of such unexpected things and it can be defined as inability of transmission system to accommodate the energy flow arising from unconstrained generator dispatch. Due to its fast control characteristics and continuous compensation capability, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices have been researched and adopted in power engineering area. There are so many advantages of FACTS device; it can increase dynamic stability, loading capability of lines and system security. It can also increase utilization of lowest cost generation. The key role of FACTS device is to control the power flow actively and effectively. In other words, it can transfer power flow from one line to another within its capability. This paper presents detailed optimal transmission congestion management using control of two Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controllers, namely, Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSCs) and Thyristor Controlled Series Reactor (TCSR). The paper focuses on the operation of the FACTS device under generator fault that may cause any other transmission lines to be overflowed. The proposed algorithm in this paper is tested on the IEEE 14 bus system and the IEEE 30 bus system. | ||||
