In this article, a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based method has been suggested to find the optimal location and setting of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) for simultaneously maximizing the Total Transfer Capability (TTC) and minimizing total real power losses of deregulated electricity markets consisting of bilateral and multilateral transactions.While solving multiobjective OPF, various inequality constraints have been handled by penalty function. The robustness of the proposed algorithm has been tested on IEEE 30 bus system. PSO gives accurate results which may be used for online TTC calculation at the energy management centre.
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.
