Optimal placement of FACTS controllers for maximising system loadability by PSO
In this paper, a multi objective-based method has been suggested to
enhance the power system loadability with optimal placement of flexible AC
transmission system (FACTS) controllers using particle swarm optimisation
(PSO) technique. The objective function is to maximise the system loadability
subjected to maintaining the system security, integrity, and stability margins
within limits by obtaining the optimal location, installation costs, and control
settings of the FACTS controllers. The various FACTS controllers, i.e., static
var compensator (SVC), thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC), and
unified power flow controller (UPFC), have been considered in this study. The
effectiveness of the proposed methodology has been investigated on the
standard IEEE 14-bus, 30-bus, and practical Java-Bali 24-bus Indonesian
system and the results are compared with the method suggested in the
literatures. Moreover, the results obtained by PSO have also been compared
with other evolutionary approach, viz., genetic algorithm (GA)
