Symbiotic Organisms Search Algorithm Based Solution for Real Power Loss Minimization using OUPFC Device

Abstract

This work employs, SOS algorithm known as meta-heuristic algorithm is employed to deprecate real power loss in the transmission network. Considering RPL deprecation as objective problem, it is solved by sequentially optimizing the OUPFC location and its variables, optimized taps being unchanged. The proposed algorithm under simulated test condition on New England 39 bus test system yields the confirmation of its efficiency, superiority over the results of the FA, as available in the literature.
