Study of optimization techniques for optimal location of facts devices
The Newton-Raphson (NR) load flow method is used for IEEE 14 bus with its standard bus and branch data and the optimal size and location of G-UPFC found out by using ant colony optimization (ACO) is inserted in the different IEEE bus systems.
Abstract
Abstract The methods used for finding the best value out of the bulk amount of data available in a sample are known as optimization techniques. Different types of such techniques are used to make machines more efficient. FACTS devices play a vital role to compensate for the reactive power of the power system by means of improving the voltage profile of the system, as the reactive power of a power transmission system directly depends upon the magnitude of the voltage. The Newton-Raphson (NR) load flow method is used for IEEE 14 bus with its standard bus and branch data. The optimal size and location of G-UPFC found out by using ant colony optimization (ACO) is inserted in the different IEEE bus systems.
