【 摘 要 】

With the increasing growth of population and development of industries, huge amount of sums are spent to increase the production of electricity and installation of new units. In this paper, a new method has been presented which reduces the aforementioned costs and prevents the losses in national capitals and fuel sources. This method finds the optimal location of Thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) in transmission network by using genetic algorithm. Due to the use of fossil fuels in power plants, the application of this method is necessary in countries with the high cost of electricity. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been illustrated in a 10-bus network as a case study.
