Article Title: Parameter Setting and Optimal location and of UPFC for Promoting Security of Power System Based on Differential Evolution Algorithm
by Srwsh N. qadr

Abstract:
Improving power systems security that use single line contingencies based on a new approach is the main point of this paper. The method entails finding optimal Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) setting by utilizing Differential Evolution (DE) technique. The performance indexes is analyzed to determine the lines with the most bus voltage limit violations and overloads, and are designated as the most severe line contingencies. With the contingency simulations determined, the best setting for UPFC location and parameter is found by applying DE technique. Our approach is tested by running simulations on IEEE 30 bus and IEEE 14 bus systems. The results indicate the bus voltage limitations and overload lines are significantly reduced, enhancing power system securities when UPFC is installed in a location optimized by DE.
