Abstract

Weak once in power system is normally referred to the area which is prone to system collapse. This is due lower to maximum loadability within the area. On the other hand, compensation process may also lead to cluster which represents the optimal location for FACTS device installation. This paper presents cluster development using Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) for flexible alternating currents transmission system (FACTS) device installation. The technique has been implemented in a bulk power system. In the meantime voltage profile improvement is monitored while cost of installation of installation is conducted. Comparison with respect to traditional PSO was conducted which eventually resulted superiority in terms of voltage profile improvement loss minimization and cost of installation. Validation was conducted on the IEEE 118-Bus system.
