Abstract

In this paper it is desired to find TCSC (Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensator) economical installation procedure in order to decrease power system losses. Not only the power losses will be reduced, but also TCSC switching loss is considered and modeled to constitute the whole cost function. The degree of compensation and location of TCSC with and without switching loss will be compared in order to determine the importance of such losses on TCSC installation parameters. Finally, the results of simulation on IEEE 14-Bus test system which utilizes the Genetic Algorithm method to solve the problem are presented. The proposed solution procedure is able to pass the local optimums toward the global optimum solution.
