An IPM-EPSO Based Hybrid Method for Security Enhancement Using SSSC

This paper presents an Interior Pont Method (IPM) and Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) based hybrid method to solve optimal power flow in power system incorporating Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) such as Static Synchronous Series Compensator(SSSC) for security enhancement in the power systems. A fuzzy logic composite criteria based severity index is also used as an objective to be minimized to improve the security of the power system. The proposed optimization process with IPM-EPSO is presented with case study example using IEEE 30-bus test system to demonstrate its applicability. The results are presented to show the feasibility and potential of this new approach.
