High congestion costs and new congestion patterns, formed by intermittent renewable generation, demand for more efficient utilization of the transmission system. Transmission switching (TS) and variable-impedance series FACTS devices are two technologies that provide such efficiency gains through controlling the power flows. As the system operators begin to utilize these tools, it is essential to understand the interdependence between them at various stages, such as planning and operation. This paper develops an optimal power flow framework that incorporates both FACTS and TS to study the link between the two power flow control technologies. The simulation results on an RTS 96-bus system suggest that: 1) substantial economic savings can be achieved through utilization of both TS and FACTS, beyond the independent capabilities of each technology; 2) performing TS actions affect the optimal location and set point of FACTS devices; and 3) operation of FACTS devices affect the location and frequency of TS actions. It is, thus, essential to acknowledge the interdependence between the two technologies both at the planning and operation stage. Failure to do so will lead to economic inefficiencies that can be avoided through co-optimization of generation dispatch, TS, and FACTS.
