Voltage stability maximization of power system using TLBO optimizer and NEPLAN software

Nowadays, power systems are getting pressurized due to the expansion of electric power utilization by governments, large industries, investors, different civilian services providers, beside the domestic customers. Hence, it is very important to increase the power system capability to accommodate new customers on the grid. This paper develops Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) technique to find maximize the voltage stability and minimize power losses during normal and fault cases. Standard IEEE 30-bus test system is used to validate the developed algorithm, However, the obtained results from M-file MATLAB code is verified using the NEPLAN commercial software. The performance of the system with and without the developed optimization technique is comprehensively studied.
