Comparative Analysis of a Performance of Metaheuristic Algorithms in Solving Optimal Power Flow Problems with UPFC Device in the Transmission System

Incremental industrialization and urbanization is the cause of enhanced energy use as it increases building new lines more inductive loads. As a result, transmission system losses increased, magnitudes voltage profile values deviated from stated value, resulting in increased cost active power generation. To mitigate these issues, adequate reactive compensation line bus systems should be done. Reactive regulated by proper position Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS). Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) converter that reduces loss. In this paper, optimal flow solution considered using FACTS device based on Multi Population Modified Jaya (MPMJ) optimization algorithm. Using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) system, UPFC determined considering most useful objective function provided priorities weighting factors. Therefore, standard IEEE-57 test proposed MPMJ algorithm implemented with for fuel generation, real loss, deviation sum squared stability index. The result obtained contrasted recent literature
