Abstract :
In this paper a harmony search algorithm has been used to determine the optimal amount and location of fault current limiters in power systems which have fault currents exceeding the permitted amount of protection equipments while using the least amount of impedance. The harmony search algorithm has been used to solve this optimization problem.
