description In this paper Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used as an evolutionary tecthniques for the optimal placement of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices in an interconnected power system. Here two types of FACTS devices has been discussed nemely, Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Static Var Compensator (SVC) for the economic operation and to reduce the transmission loss. Reactively loading of the system is taken from base to 200% of base loading and the system performance is observed without and with FACTS devices. Optimal placement of FACTS devices in the system is determined by calculating active and reactive power flow in lines. FACTS devices along with reactive generation of generators and transformer tap setting are used for the power transfer capacity using GA. The proposed approach is applied on IEEE 14 and IEEE 30-bus test systems. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed GA based method of placement of FACTS devices is established by comparing the results with another standard method of optimization like Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique.
