Shodhganga: hdl.handle.net/10603/631435

Supervisor: Prof. Subrata Banerjee | Co-Supervisor: Prof. Provas Kumar Roy

• Reviewed the literature on ATC, OPF, FACTS (UPFC) and renewable energy sources (RESs) and identified the research scope.
• Developed two hybrid meta-heuristic algorithms: Opposition Selfish Herd Optimizer (OSHO) and Chaotic Mayflies Algorithm (CMA) to optimise ATC and/or active power generation cost.
• Integrated UPFC into the power system optimisation framework to raise ATC without new transmission line construction.
• Implemented 24-hour RES-thermal scheduling with solar, wind and hydro units alongside thermal units for multi-objective optimisation of cost and ATC.
• Validated the algorithms on IEEE 24-bus, 30-bus and 118-bus test systems with all equality and inequality constraints satisfied.

Master of Technology (M.Tech) in Electrical Engineering
