چکیده
The Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) in a Power System improves stability, reduces the cost of generation, losses and also improves loadability of the system. In order to use FACTS devices in a Power system to maximum extent, optimal location of FACTS devices is an important consideration. This paper presents the optimal location of series FACTS device for eliminating or minimizing the line overloads under single contingency. Among various types of FACTS devices TCSC with reactance control is used to control the power flow in congested lines for different operating conditions. The optimal location of the device is ascertained by using CSI and optimal setting of the device by PSO technique. The effectiveness of this method has been tested on IEEE-14 bus system using MATLAB Programming.
