Abstract

This paper propose a particle swarm optimization based algorithm for locating Unified power flow controller (UPFC), as well as set its parameters, with static point of view in deregulated electricity markets in order to reduce generation cost, voltage violation and manage congestion. The modeling of UPFC has been adapted based on power injection method. In order to verify and validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, it was applied to 24-bus Reliability Test System (RTS) and the results have been discussed.
