Multi Objective GAPSO Hybrid Algorithm for Optimal Location of Unified Power Flow Controller in Power System

Abstract

In the new era, sometimes, power systems work with heavily loaded lines resulting in higher power loss and higher voltage deviation which makes the system unstable. It is owing to continuous growing demand of electrical power. This paper elaborates a multi objective GAPSO hybrid algorithm to solve a multi objective optimization problem to find optimal location and size of unified power flow controller. The objective functions are used to minimize the power losses, voltage deviation, maximize the net saving energy cost and the cost related to UPFC. Simulations are performed on IEEE-14 bus system for different loading condition with UPFC modeled in steady state and the results validate the puissance of the proposed approach.

Keywords: UPFC, GAPSO, FACTS, FVSI, voltage deviation, real power loss
