Abstract

In this paper, a new Differential Evolution (DE) with small population (DESP) comparing to standard DE (SDE) is proposed for maximizing the Total Transfer Capability (TTC) between source and sink area by considering voltage limits and thermal limits in a power system by placing Static Var Compensator (SVC). Different strategies are considered to solve the problem. A comparison is made between the obtained results by SDE and DESP in terms of their success rate. Furthermore, simulation studies on a multi-machine network (IEEE 30-bus system) are presented to illustrate the capability of SDE and DESP algorithms with different strategies to solve the problem.
