Abstract

This paper presents an approach to find the optimal location of thyristor controlled series compensators (TCSC) in a power system to improve the loadability of its lines and minimize its total loss. Also the proposed approach aims to find the optimal number of devices and their optimal compensation levels by using genetic algorithm (GA) based approach with taking into consideration the thermal and voltage limits. Examination of the proposed approach is carried out on a modified IEEE 30-bus system.
