Optimal Reactive Power Compensation in Transmission Networks By TCSC Using Particle Swarm Optimization
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
Increased demand for electrical energy and free market economies for electricity exchange, have pushed power suppliers to pay a great attention to quality and cost of the latter, especially in transmission networks. To reduce power losses due to the high level of the reactive currents transit and improve the voltage profile in transmission systems, shunt capacitor banks are widely used. The problem to be solved is to find the capacitors optimal number, sizes and locations so that they maximize the cost reduction. This paper is constructed as a function of active and reactive power loss reduction. To solve this constrained non-linear problem, a heuristic technique, based on the sensitivity factors of the system power losses, has been proposed. The optimal location TCSC is studied on the basis of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to minimize network losses. Validation of the proposed implementation is done on the IEEE-14 and IEEE-30 bus systems.
