Analysis of Performance of SSSC FACTS Devices Using PSO Based Optimal Power Flow Solutions

This paper incorporates the SSSC FACTS device in optimal power flow solutions to enhance the performance of the power systems. The particle swarm optimization is used for solving the optimal power flow problem for steady-state studies. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was tested on IEEE 14-bus and IEEE 30-bus systems with SSSC FACTS device. Results show that the proposed PSO algorithm gives better solution to enhance the system performance with SSSC device compared to without SSSC device.
