Reactive power compensation and reducing network transmission losses by optimal placement of parallel and series FACTS devices with fuzzy-evolutionary method.

The growing use of energy in the world necessitates the development of power networks. However, developing new transmission lines requires a great deal of time and cost, so it will be very cost-effective to use the same lines with higher transmission capacities, if possible. In this regard, in recent years, by introducing of FACTS to power networks, their use in industrialized countries has become commonplace to increase the capacity of transmission lines. In this paper, the optimal adjustment of reactive power sources in the power network with FACTS series and parallel devices (TCSC, SVC) in order to coordinate them with each other and using fuzzy logic based on evolutionary algorithms such as particle swarm to reduce power losses Active, operating system costs including the cost of FACTS devices and congestion in transmission networks. Finally, this will be proven by simulating the IEEE 30-Bus test network and placing FACTS devices on it.
