PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF TCSC DEVICE IN POWER SYSTEM NETWORK BASED ON PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION

Manipalli VS RajaSekhar, K.Padma

A single-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) approach to tune the parameters of a Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC), for minimizing the cost of generation, real power loss and improve the voltage stability L-index. In this paper, TCSC FACTS device is incorporated in solving optimal power flow problems using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for a standard IEEE 30 bus system. Series compensation has been successfully utilized for many years in electric power networks. With Series compensation, it is possible to increase the transfer capability of existing power transmission systems at a lower investment cost and with a shorter installation time compared to the building new, additional lines. This is due to the inherent ability of series capacitors to achieve. Results for optimization of total cost with and without TCSC installation by considering the limits on generator real and reactive power outputs, bus voltages and transformer tapings have been obtained.
