Abstract

This paper presents the optimal power flow solution using Multi-Population based Modified Jaya (MPMJ) algorithm with Centre-Node Unified Power flow controller (C-UPFC) FACTS device. The C-UPFC is the current and advanced FACTS device to control the flow of active power and voltage magnitude at the line and bus. The C-UPFC is the basic derivative of the original UPFC device. Still, in the C-UPFC, this device connection is inserted in series with the transmission line and connected at the transmission line's midpoint. Therefore, The C-UPFC can independently regulate active and reactive power flows at both line ends and AC voltage magnitude at line midpoint. The optimal location of the C-UPFC device in the transmission line is determined by the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method by considering the objective functions given by priority order values. Therefore, the proposed MPMJ optimization algorithm applied with C-UPFC for optimal values of total fuel cost of generation, real power loss, the total voltage deviation, and the sum of squared voltage stability index on the standard IEEE-57 bus test system. The results obtained by the proposed MPMJ algorithm are better solutions effectively in the presence of C-UPFC device and is compared with the recent algorithm reported in the literature.
