flexible ac transmission systems (facts) controllers with its ability to directly control the power flow can offer great opportunities in modern power system, allowing better and safer operation of transmission network. in this paper, in order to find type, size and location of facts devices in a power system a dedicated improved particle swarm optimization (dipso) algorithm is developed for de...

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices have shown satisfactory performance in alleviating the problems of electrical transmission systems. Optimal FACTS allocation problem, which includes finding optimal type and location of these devices, have been widely studied by researchers for improving variety of power system technical parameters. In this paper, a DIgSILENT-based Discrete Parti...

Purpose The linkages between credit allocation and productivity have particular relevance in Portugal. This study aims to investigate whether extended by the Portuguese banking system has been allocated most productive firms within each sector. Design/methodology/approach With a data set covering 95% of total outstanding non-financial corporations recorded register, authors loans resident banks...

This paper presents a novel optimization based methodology to allocate Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices in an attempt to improve the previously mentioned researches in this field. Static voltage stability enhancement, voltage profile improvement, line congestion alleviation, and FACTS devices investment cost reduction, have been considered, simultaneously, as objective funct...

This paper deals with the loss allocation problem of any interconnected power system. In this paper, an attempt is made to minimize the transmission line loss using FACTS controllers. Two most commonly used FACTS controllers; TCSC and STATCOM are utilized here to reduce the loss. The contribution of system generators at a particular operating load has been calculated using power tracing algorit...

In this paper, the new hybrid particle swarm optimization (hybrid-PSO) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO), evolutionary programming (EP), and tabu search (TS) is developed. Hybrid-PSO is proposed to determine the optimal allocation of multi-type flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers for simultaneously maximizing the power transfer capability of power transactions between g...
