The dependently of the electrical grid is critical key point to safety of the nuclear research reactor (NRR) operation. This paper provides an optimization approach relying on optimal allocation of UPFC device to obtain higher electrical power quality of such nuclear facilities. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique was used to address the optimal UPFC allocation problem. The suggested approach is applied to the IEEE 33-bus test system, and results reveal that the suggested PSO is more efficient in minimizing total power losses and enhancing voltage profile using only one of UPFC device. The results show the technique is good method in this case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
