About The Book:

"Optimal Power Flow Using FACTS Devices: Soft Computing Techniques" by L. Ashok Kumar offers a cutting-edge exploration of Optimal Power Flow (OPF) and its enhancement using FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) devices. This comprehensive guide delves into soft computing metaheuristics algorithms such as Firefly, Cuckoo, Flower Pollination, and more, showcasing their real-time application in optimizing power systems and improving power transfer capability while reducing congestion.

The book provides a detailed study on the usage of FACTS devices in power systems, addressing key challenges such as congestion management and the damping of subsynchronous resonance (SSR) oscillations. Aimed at researchers, engineers, and professionals in the power systems field, this book presents advanced techniques for power flow optimization and solutions for real-time power system applications.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive review of FACTS devices and their role in solving Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problems.

• Introduction to soft computing techniques, focusing on algorithms like Firefly, Cuckoo, and Flower Pollination for solving power system challenges.

• In-depth treatment of subsynchronous resonance (SSR) in power systems, with intelligent solutions for analysis and mitigation.

• Congestion management and SSR damping using intelligent FACTS devices as part of OPF.

• Exploration of power system reliability, quality, cost-effectiveness, and pollution limits, with a focus on market deregulation and intelligent controllers.

This book is an essential resource for anyone involved in power system design, optimization, and control, particularly for those working with FACTS devices and soft computing algorithms.
