Enhancement of Atc with Tcsc and Svc by Using Rga

In this book use of TCSC and SVC to maximize Available Transfer Capability (ATC) generally defined as the maximum power transfer transaction between a specific power-seller and a power-buyer in a network during normal and contingency cases. ATC is computed using Continuous Power Flow (CPF) method considering both line thermal limit as well as bus voltage limits. Real-code Genetic Algorithm is used as the optimization tool to determine the location as well as the controlling parameter of TCSC or Simultaneously. The performance of the Real-code Genetic Algorithm has been tested on IEEE 14-Bus System and IEEE 24-Bus Reliability Test System.
