A Hybrid Mutation Particle Swarm Optimisation (HMPSO) technique for improved estimation of Available Transfer Capacity (ATC) as a decision criterion is proposed in this paper. First, this is achieved by comparing a typical application of the Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) technique with conventional Genetic Algorithm (GA) methods. Next, a multi-objective optimisation problem concerning optim...

In the proposed work, authors have applied swarm intelligence based algorithms for the effective Co-ordination of Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices with other existing Var sources present in the network. IEEE 30 and IEEE 57 bus systems are taken as standard test systems. SPSO (Simple Particle Swarm Optimization) and other two swarm based intelligence approaches like APSO (Adaptive...

Contingency analysis has been considered as critical issue in power systems because it initiates failures transmission line and failure equipment. Hence, this paper is presented Red Deer Algorithm (RDA) to manage contingency condition for improving security of the system. The proposed algorithm utilized solve Optimal Power flow (OPF) with multi-objective functions. function consisting six singl...

The Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) in a Power System improves stability, reduces the cost of generation, losses and also improves loadability of the system. In order to use FACTS devices in a Power system to maximum extent, optimal location of FACTS devices is an important consideration. This paper presents the optimal location of series FACTS device for eliminating or minimizing the l...

There are many problems arising in the electrical networks. In that, voltage fluctuation and power loss reduction becomes a major drawback in the electrical power supply system.

Congestion and overloading for lines are the main problems in the exploitation of power grids. The consequences of these problems in deregulated systems can be mentioned as sudden jumps in prices in some parts of the power system, lead to an increase in market power and reduction of competition in it. FACTS devices are efficient, powerful and economical tools in controlling power flows through ...
