| Abstract | A parallel improved evolutionary programming (PIEP) for optimal power flow with flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices is proposed to minimize the total generator fuel cost. The problem is decomposed into optimal FACTS parameter setting subproblem, which is searched by the PIEP, and optimal power flow (OPF) subproblem, which is solved by evolutionary programming (EP). Loss sensitivity index is used to determine the optimal placement of FACTS devices. The developed PIED algorithm is implemented on the eight processor OPTIMA Beowulf cluster with a fast Ethernet switch network on the IEEE 30 bus system. The PIEP speedup ratios and synchronization overheads on the Beowulf cluster are shown on the IEEE 30 bus system. The proposed PIEP is shown to be viable to online implementation of OPF with FACTS devices due to cost savings and faster elapsed time |
