Abstract

Present day complex power system network especially power transmission is being operated under highly stressed condition due to continuous increase in electric power demand day by day in various sectors such as industrial, commercial and domestic etc. As long as load increases, the reactive power demand also increases abruptly. The main objective of the present research paper is to develop a strange way of analyzing the power system conditions by locating various FACTS devices such as STATCOM, SSSC and UPFC which improves voltage profile and minimize network losses. FACTS devices with suitable placement will meet the required reactive power demand of the complex and stressed power transmission system. In this paper the placement of FACTS devices using GA, PSO and HGAPSO heuristic techniques are introduced and the results are compared on IEEE 30 bus test system in a MATLAB environment. The HGAPSO heuristic technique gives effective placement than GA and PSO heuristic techniques are presented in this paper

Keywords
