Abstract:

: The increasing demand for electricity has put a strain on existing power transmission and distribution systems. As a result, utilities are often forced to overload their existing systems, which can lead to voltage instability, transmission line congestion, and even blackouts. To fix these problems, flexible AC transmission system controllers (FACTs) can be used. This paper deals with two objectives: minimizing voltage deviation and real power losses, and the minimization has been performed using the multi-objective artificial bee colony algorithm (MOABC). UPFC has been optimally placed on the IEEE bus-39 system. The proposed work is implemented through MATLAB coding.
