Abstract
Energy power flows are an important factor to be calculated and, thus, are needed to be enhanced in an electrical generation system. It is very necessary to optimally locate the Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices and improve the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) of the power transmission lines. It relieves the congestion of the system and increases the flow of power. This research study has been accomplished in two stages: optimization of location of FACTS device by the novel Sensitivity and Power loss-based Congestion Reduction (SPCR) method and the calculation of ATC using the proposed Metaheuristic Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (MEEPSO) technique. The Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) is used as a FACTS device to control the reactance of power transmission line. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is validated, utilizing the six bus as well as 30 bus system. The acquired outcomes are contrasted with conventional ACPTDF and DCPTDF procedures. These values are determined with the assistance of MATLAB version 2017 on the Intel Core i5 framework by taking two-sided exchanges and they are contrasted and values determined with the assistance of Power World Simulator (PWS) programming.
