Abstract

This paper describes optimal location and sizing of static var compensator (SVC) based on Particle Swarm Optimization for minimization of transmission losses considering cost function. In this study, SVC is chosen as the compensation device for loss minimization purposes. Validation through the implementation on the IEEE 30-bus system indicated that PSO is feasible to achieve the task. The simulation results are compared with those obtained from Artificial Immune System (AIS) technique in the attempt to highlight its merit.
