Abstract

Available transfer capability (ATC) is one of the challenging criteria under the functioning of the deregulated power system. The high demand for improving ATC is generally met using flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices in the power system. However, it suffers from serious crisis during determination of the optimal location and compensation stage of FACTS. The present study uses thyristor-controlled series compensation (TCSC) devices in order to compensate for the limitation of FACTS. Further, a novel self-adapted particle swarm optimisation (SAPSO) algorithm is proposed in this study for enhancing ATC. Experiments are carried on three benchmark bus systems such as IEEE 24, IEEE 30 and IEEE 57. Performance and statistical analyses are carried out by comparing the proposed SAPSO with the conventional PSO. Eventually, the study proves the effectiveness of the proposed method in case of ATC enhancement.
