    Abstract: The work entailed in this paper is to develop a model for the optimal location of shunt Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) along a transmission line so as to enhance controllability and increase power transfer capability of the transmission network. Mathematical models for maximum power transfer and transmission angles for tra... Show More
