P. Priyadharshini . ATC Enhancement with Facts Devices using Quantum Inspired PSO. International Journal of Computer Applications. 71, 22 ( June 2013), 39-45. DOI=10.5120/12622-9360
Under new de-regulated environment an open access to transmission system seems to be desired. Determination and enhancement of available transfer capability (ATC) are important issues in deregulated operation of power systems. This paper focuses on the best location and optimal allocation of FACTS devices to improve maximum available transfer capacity (ATC). ATC is computed using repeated power flow method considering voltage profile. Quantum inspired PSO is used for optimization of FACTs requirement for maximizing ATC. The suggested methodology is tested on IEEE 30-bus system.
