Optimal Location of UPFC to Optimize the Real Power Losses and Voltage Stability Limit by Using Modified Shuffled Frog Leap Algorithm

Abstract

This paper deals with the Optimal location and control of a unified power flow controller (UPFC) along with transformer taps are tuned to simultaneously optimize the voltage stability limit (VSL) and real power losses of a radial power system network. This problem is deals with a nonlinear equality and inequality constrained optimization problem with an objective function incorporating both the real power loss and VSL. An Meta-Heauristic algorithm known as Modified shuffled frog leap is applied for solving the UPFC location, its injected voltages are in series, a tap positions of secondary side transformers as they are variables. The obtained results of MSFL Algorithm Compared with Bacteria foregoing algorithm using IEEE 39 bus.
