Manasarani Mandala, C. P. Gupta . Optimal Placement of TCSC for Congestion Management using Modified Particle Swarm Optimization. International Journal of Computer Applications. 88, 11 ( February 2014), 34-40. DOI=10.5120/15400-4073
In a competitive power market, the task of an independent system operator (ISO) is to ensure full dispatches of the contracted power are carried out reliably. However, if it threatens the system security then ISO makes decision on the re-dispatch of the contracted power i. e. , Congestion Management (CM). This paper proposes an optimal congestion management approach in a deregulated electricity market with optimal location of TCSC under Combined Economic Emission Dispatch Environment (CEED) using Particle Swarm optimization with Time Varying Acceleration Co-efficient (PSO-TVAC). Sensitivity factors are used to find the optimal location TCSC. After placing TCSC the investment cost of TCSC and generator rescheduling cost is minimized using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and PSO-TVAC. Numerical results on test system, IEEE 30 bus and IEEE 118 bus systems are presented for illustration purpose and the results are compared with Particle swarm optimization (PSO) in terms of solution quality. The comprehensive experimental results prove that the PSO-TVAC is one among the challenging optimization methods which is indeed capable of obtaining higher quality solutions for the proposed problem.
