Loadability Enhancement of Power System using Sine Cosine Algorithm

This work proposes sine cosine algorithm (SCA) method for enhancing loadability of the transmission lines. The SCA method is tested on IEEE57 test bus system considering different loading conditions. Power flow analysis is used to determine the best position for flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) devices. Metaheuristic algorithms are implemented to set the control variables. SCA tuned FACTS controllers improve power transfer capability and become effective in minimizing power loss. The convergence characteristics show that the SCA method is capable of providing better solution as compared to other techniques. The comparative analysis validates the superiority of the SCA technique.
