Cuckoo Search Approach for Optimal SVC Design in A Multimachine Power System
Authors: E. S. Ali, S. M. Abd Elazim
Abstract: In this paper, a new metaheuristic method, the Cuckoo Search (CS) approach, based on the life of a bird family is proposed for the optimal design of a Static Var Compensator (SVC) in a multimachine environment. The SVC parameter tuning problem is converted to an optimization problem which is solved by the CS approach. The performance of the proposed CS-based SVC (CSSVC) has been compared with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based SVC (PSOSVC) under various operating conditions. The superiority of the suggested technique in damping oscillations and enhancing voltage profile over a wide range of operating conditions and system configurations is confirmed through eigenvalue, performance indices, and time domain simulation results over the PSO.
