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.
