Abstract
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) based approach for solving the optimal power flow with FACTS devices to eliminate line over loads in the system following single line outages. The proposed approach introduces an index called the single contingency sensitivity (SCS) index to rank the system branches according to their suitability for installing thyristor controlled series capacitors(TCSCs). Once the locations are determined, the problem of identifying the optimal TCSC parameters is formulated as an optimization problem and a GA based approach is applied to solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem. IEEE 30 bus system is considered to demonstrate the suitability of this algorithm. Case studies on IEEE test system show the effectiveness of this algorithm.
