TCSC placement for loss minimisation using self adaptive firefly algorithm

This paper presents the use of self adaptive firefly algorithm to identify the optimal placement of thyristor controlled series compensator (tcsc) in a power system network. the objective is to minimise the transmission loss in power system network with the placement of tcsc. to validate the proposed algorithm,simulations are performed on three ieee test system using matlab software package. simulation results show that the identified location and parameter of tcsc is able to minimise the transmission loss in the power system network. © school of engineering,taylor’s university.
