title = "Optimal Sizing and Location Identification of Suitable Compensator in a Radial Distribution Network through Fuzzy- Flower Pollination Optimization Algorithm",
abstract = "The primary goal of distribution networks is to transfer uninterrupted power supply between utility and utility customers with greater quality. The control of real power transmission loss and maintaining the bus voltage within the permissible range are considered to measure the quality of power delivery by the utility. In recent years, strategies such as reconfiguration, capacitor placement and Distributed Energy Resources (DER) placement are practiced for improving the power delivery performance of the distribution system. Furthermore, the placement of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices such as series and shunt controllers are also used for line and load compensation in the power system for performance enhancement. In this research work, the performance analysis of three types of the FACTS devices such as Static VAR Compensators (SVC), Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) have been carried out with the support of hybrid Fuzzy-Flower Pollination Optimization Algorithm (FFPOA). The FPOA identifies the optimal size and location of suitable FACTS devices in a distribution system for optimizing the Total Operating Cost (TOC) and bus voltage improvement. In addition, heuristic fuzzy is integrated for the effective handling of the multi-objective problem on distribution system optimization. The efficiency of the proposed hybrid algorithm is validated with the three standard benchmark test cases.",
