Because their capability to change the network parameters with a rapid response and enhanced flexibility, flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices have taken more attention in power systems operations as improvement of voltage profile and minimizing system losses. In this way, this paper presents a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) to solve optimal reactive power dispatch (OR...

This paper presents an AC Transmission system power flow controlled by injecting a compensating voltage in series with the line and injecting reactive power in shunt with the bus. Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) are utilized as a series and shunt compensation, respectively while Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is considered as a shu...

In recent years, expansion of power system is not as par the need of power demand which has increased substantially [3]. As a consequence, existing transmission lines are heavily loaded and the stability of the system ecomes a power transfer-resisting factor. Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) controllers have been mainly designed to solve such type of power system steady state controllin...

The term ‘‘floating shoulder ’’ was introduced by Herscovici in 1992 [1], charactered by ipsilateral scapular neck and clavicular shaft fractures. The definition of ‘floating shoulder’’ has been criticized by many authors, and the widely accepted definition is a double disruption of the superior suspensory shoulder complex (SSSC) [2-5]. SSSC is a bony/soft tissue structure, playing important ro...

In an interconnected power system, low frequency electromechanical oscillations are initiated by normal small changes in system loads, and they become much worse following a large disturbance. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices are widely recognized as powerful controllers for damping power system oscillations. The standard FACTS controllers are linear controllers which may not gua...
