Congestion Management by Phase Shifting Transformer Using Fuzzy Logic Control

This paper introduces Fuzzy logic to the control of phase shifting transformer. Phase shifting transformer is already installed FACTS device in many major countries. It is used for power transfer improvement, reducing cost of transmission system, congestion management, improves stability and many more. In this paper congestion management is discussed using MATLAB software. As load on power transformers is increasing and some transformer gets power congestion. This burden can be taken care by phase shifting transformer and by using Fuzzy logic the controlling of phase shifting transformers is optimized.
