This paper presents the application of Genetic Algorithm (GA) to assess and enhance Total Transfer Capability (TTC) using Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices during power system planning and operation. Conventionally TTC is assessed using Repeated Power Flow (RPF) or Continuation Power Flow (CPF) or Optimal Power Flow (OPF) based methods which normally uses Newton Raphson (NR) metho...

In this paper, the new hybrid particle swarm optimization (hybrid-PSO) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO), evolutionary programming (EP), and tabu search (TS) is developed. Hybrid-PSO is proposed to determine the optimal allocation of multi-type flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers for simultaneously maximizing the power transfer capability of power transactions between g...

With the recent trend towards deregulating power systems around the world, transfer capability computation emerges as the key issue to a smoothly running power market with multiple transactions. Total transfer Capability (TTC) is the basic measure for evaluating Available transfer capability (ATC). This paper presents the calculation of TTC through an optimal power flow approach. The objective ...

We present a quantitative approach for IT portfolio management. This is an approach that CMM level 1 organizations can use to obtain a corporate wide impression of the state of their total IT portfolio, how IT costs spent today project into the budgets of tomorrow, how to assess important risks residing in an IT portfolio, and to explore what-if scenarios for future IT investments. Our quantita...

The main aim of this paper is to determine to analyze the electrical transfer capability among different electricity markets using repeated power flow technique. Instead of minimizing the total cost in the conventional problem, in the paper, the transfer capability between two markets or two electricity supply and generation areas is maximized. To reduce the time required to compute transfer ca...
