This paper presents two new Particle swarm optimization methods to solve optimal power flow (OPF) in power system incorporating flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). Two types of FACTS devices, thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and thyristor controlled phase shifting (TCPS), are considered. In this paper, the problems of OPF with FACTS are solved by using particle swarm optimizat...

For the power quality improvement of the system FACTS devices like static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), static synchronous series compensator(SSSC), interline power flow controller (IPFC), and unified power flow controller (UPFC) etc. are introduced. These devices are used for the transmission system. But now a day’s these FACTS devices are used for distribution system and called as custom...

Shunt FACTS devices are used for controlling transmission voltage, power flow, reducing reactive losses, and damping of power system oscillations for high power transfer levels. In this paper the optimal location of a shunt FACT device is investigated for an actual line model of a transmission line having series compensation at the center. Effect of change in degree of series compensation on th...

In this paper, we present a new method to determine the optimal location and parameter settings of UnifiedPower Flow Controller (UPFC) for removing voltage violations and transmission lines overloading. UPFC isconsidered as the most powerful member of the FACTS devices, that it can control shunt and series power flow.This option gives to UPFC the power to control the voltage profile and transmi...

In today’s restructured environment, congestion management plays an essential role in power system operation. Different methods are presented and discussed in this respect for congestion management in short-term and long-term intervals. It is attempted in the present paper to investigate the impact mechanism of FACTS devices and demand response programs together with generation re-dispatch as s...

This paper describe the reactive power flow solution based BBO to amend the performance of the power system. Biogeography-based optimization is incorporating flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is type of FACTS device used in this paper. In this BBO Store best parent solution and apply mutation and migration process on remaining parents to prod...

This paper aggressively tells about FACTS (Devices in Indian Power System) study whose full form is Flexible Alternative current Transmission System. used as it the best technology which growing around to improve power transfer capabilities us transfer. FACT devices has its many benefits are like if for a given transmission system we use then will capability also enhances reliability, and not o...
