Optimal Power Flow with TCSC and TCPS Modeling using Craziness and Turbulent Crazy Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper presents two new Particle swarm optimization methods to solve optimal power flow OPF in power system incorporating flexible AC transmission systems FACTS. Two types of FACTS devices, thyristor-controlled series capacitor TCSC and thyristor controlled phase shifting TCPS, are considered. In this paper, the problems of OPF with FACTS are solved by using particle swarm optimization with the inertia weight approach PSOIWA, real coded genetic algorithm RGA, craziness based particle swarm optimization CRPSO, and turbulent crazy particle swarm optimization TRPSO. The proposed methods are implemented on modified IEEE 30-bus system for four different cases. The simulation results show better solution quality and computation efficiency of TRPSO and CRPSO algorithms over PSOIWA and RGA. The study also shows that FACTS devices are capable of providing an economically attractive solution to OPF problems.
