Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Incorporating TCSC-TCPS Devices Using Different Evolutionary Optimization Techniques

The chapter presents two effective evolutionary methods, namely, artificial bee colony optimization (ABC) and biogeography based optimization (BBO) for solving optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem using flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices. The idea is to allocate two types of FACTS devices such as thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and thyristor-controlled phase shifter (TCPS) in such a manner that the cost of operation is minimized. In this paper, IEEE 30-bus test system with multiple TCSC and TCPS devices is considered for investigations and the results clearly show that the proposed ABC and BBO methods are very competent in solving ORPD problem in comparison with other existing methods.
