Abstract

Obtaining optimal power flow solution is a strenuous task for any power system engineer. The inclusion of FACTS devices in the power system network adds to its complexity. This paper presents a novel algorithm named hybridization of DE with BBO (DE/BBO) for solving the optimal placement and parameter setting of thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC) to achieve optimal power flow (OPF) of power system network. The proposed method is tested and validated for locating TCSC in IEEE-30 test system. Results show that the proposed method is good to select proper location of TCSC for secured OPF.
