Abstract

One of the main concerns of network operators is the enhancement of system parameters; accordingly, a set of different means to this end are posed. However, the use of renewable energies such as the wind could increase the importance of the debate over sustainability and conditions of power system parameters. In this study, the condition of said parameters is examined by placing FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) devices in a 24-bus power system including a wind farm. Research data entailing information on the wind and the amount of consumption load per year are classified by using the K-means classification algorithm; then, the objective function is obtained according to the parameters intended for optimization. This function is optimized by using the Honey-bee mating optimization (HBMO) algorithm followed by obtaining the suitable place and amount for FACTS devices. The results showed that the examined parameters are optimized when using FACTS devices.
