Optimal siting and sizing of SSSC using improved harmony search algorithm considering non-smooth cost functions
Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is an elegant member of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. SSSC can be used to control the active and reactive power flows of transmission lines. In this paper, improved harmony search algorithm (IHS) is applied to determine the optimal location and parameter settings of SSSC in power systems. The optimal power flow (OPF) ... Read more
