Enhancement of Total Transfer Capability Using SVC and TCSC

چکیده
In this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and Guaranteed Convergence PSO (GCPSO) are proposed to determine the allocation of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Static Var Compensator (SVC) for maximizing the Total Transfer Capability (TTC) between source and sink area by considering voltage limits and thermal limits in a power system. The optimization is made on two parameters: the location and size of devices. Also, to have a comparison, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied to deal with the problem. Simulation results show that standard PSO failed to solve the problem but GA and GCPSO algorithms converge to similar optimal solutions. Key-Words -TTC, particle swarm optimization, guaranteed convergence PSO, genetic algorithm, SVC and TCSC.
