  • Abstract
    Static Var Compensator(SVC) in one of the most widely used devices in industry and real world power systems. The problem of finding optimal values of SVC parameters has been studied for years. Many different methods have been carried out to design SVC controllers. But trying to find better controller is still remains. In this scope, Harmony Search (HS) Algorithms method as a meta-heuristic optimization method is considered for tuning the parameters of SVC. A multi machine electric power system is used to test viability of SVC in voltage support under disturbances. Simulation results on a multi machine power system show the ability of SVC in control of voltage as well as stability enhancement. The results are carried out by numerical simulations by using MATLAB software.
