Abstract
Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices have brought in remarkable changes in the field of power system operation and control. Their development and application have made the traditional AC power system with an inherent time lag to respond quickly towards unprecedented changes. As these devices use power electronic switches unlike conventional controllers, they tend to be costlier and hence it is inevitable to consider not only the ratings but also the location for device placement to tap maximum benefit. In this work, the problem of optimal device placement is addressed taking into account the cost of the device also. Hence the objective function is formulated in such a way to take into account the cost of the device, line loadings and load voltage deviations. The problem is solved by applying BBO technique, simulating various load conditions on IEEE 14, 30 and 57 bus systems. The results of the proposed technique are compared with the results obtained through the application of PSO algorithm.
