Voltage Profile Improvement with Application of Differently Optimized FACTS Controllers

Abstract

This research work presents a novel individual and Hybrid MGA and IGWO was utilized to develop FACTS-controlled optimization model for improvement of bus voltage profiles. The algorithm simultaneously solved the objective problem and augments device parameters as it searches for the best FACTS location and sizes. Objective function was resolved Security Constrained Optimal Load Flow (SCOLF) with the integration FACTS power electronics controllers for TTC without violating active and reactive power generation confines, voltage boundaries, line flow limits, and FACTS devices operation restrictions and ratings. TCSC controller parameters have been effectively optimized for the research and the work has been successfully carried out on MATLAB platform using IEEE 30-bus test bus systems. Power system procedures and parameters can be augmented using artificial intelligence techniques like ANN, ANFIS, Fuzzy Logic, DEPSO and MGA together with power electronics built versatile and highly adaptable Flexible AC Transmission Systems controllers. FACTS normalize voltage or control the power that is either added into or absorbed from the system. They enhance the overall grid capacity and performance. They also increase the dependability and efficiency of power systems. Apart from alleviating power transients, FACTS provide greater system real and reactive control.
