Optimizing Power Loss on Nigerian Weak Transmission Line Using Facts Devices and Genetic Algorithm
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
This research focuses on the optimization of power loss on Nigerian 330kV, 30-bus transmission line by installing high power electronics called FACTS device to improve the key parameters (line impedance, phase angle and voltage magnitude) and also increase the stability of the system. This was achieved through the use of Genetic Algorithm (GA) as it helps in finding an optimal location for the FACTS device. The load flow analysis for the 30bus transmission line was gotten through the use of power flow toolbox (PFATB). After optimization, it was observed that there was an improvement in the voltage profile(VPII) and also the line loss improvement index(LLII) which showed that the FACTS device used with genetic algorithm has helped to reduce the value of the losses from -13.85MVAR to -13.766MVAR. The simulation results demonstrate the performance of the system for each of the FACTS devices in improving the power profile and thereby voltage stability of the same.
