Abstract

This paper concerns the optimal choice and allocation of FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) devices in multi-machine power system using genetic algorithm. The objective is to improve the system loadability and the voltage stability. Using the proposed method, the locations of the FACTS devices, their types and rated values are optimized simultaneously. Different kinds of FACTS devices are simulated in this study: Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Static Var Compensator (SVC). The proposed algorithm is an effective and practical method for the choice and allocation of FACTS devices in large power systems.
