OPTIMAL LOCATION OF FACTS DEVICE FOR AVAILABLE TRANSFER CAPABILITY ATC USING FIREFLY ALGORITHM
DESIGN DETAILS
The main objective of electric power industry restructuring is to promote competitive markets for electric power trading. Under new environment, the main consequence of the non-discriminatory open-access requirement is the substantial increase in power transfers. The Available Transfer Capability (ATC) of a transmission network is the unutilized transfer capabilities of a transmission network for the transfer of power for further commercial activity, over and above already committed usage. Adequate ATC is needed to ensure all economic transactions, while sufficient ATC is needed to facilitate electricity market liquidity. It is necessary to maintain economical and secure operation over a wide range of system operating conditions and constraints. However, tight restrictions in the construction of new facilities due to the economic, environmental, and social problems, reduces the operational alternatives. It may sometimes lead to a situation that the existing transmission facilities are intensively used. On the other hand, it can be said that power suppliers will benefit from more market opportunities with reduced possibility of congestion incorporating power systems security enhancement. Maximum use of existing transmission assets will be more profitable for transmission system owners, and customers will receive better services with reduced prices.
The objective of this Matlab design is to enhance the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) from source area to sink area in deregulated power system using Continuous Power Flow (CPF) method during normal and contingency cases with optimal location and control parameter of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices such as Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) on IEEE 14,24,30 and 57 bus reliability test systems using Matlab 2020a version. Firefly Algorithm (FA) is used to determine optimal location and control parameter of TCSC.
