AbstractOptimal power flow (OPF) problem and its implications for power system stability and efficiency is investigated in this study. OPF, a restricted optimization query with non-linearity and non-convexity, is one of the most challenging and fascinating problems in the recent power system. Based on these parameters, researchers have been working hard over the past few decades to identify the best solutions to the OPF issue that maintain system stability. This work presents multi-objective OPF solutions utilizing Newton's technique with numerous multi-type FACTS units. First, the GA is applied to identify the perfect size and location of the FACTS units. Next, the generator and FACTS settings are optimized. In this instance, four scenarios are taken into consideration and three OFs are employed to see how the OFs affect the positioning and dimensions of FACTS devices. The OF is suggested to consider the reduction of both generation costs and transmission losses while also optimizing the power transfer capacity of designated corridors. A full analysis relating to the IEEE-30 bus system is presented and analyzed.
