Modern power system becomes more complex and difficult to control with the wide integration of renewable energy and flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS). In recent years many types of renewable source (Wind, solar,) and FACTS devices (SVC, STATCOM, TCSC, UPFC) integrated widely in the electricity market. Wind power industry has been developing rapidly, and high penetration of wind power int...

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...
