Abstract: The integration of a flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) and a power system stabilizer (PSS) can increase dynamic stability. This paper presents the enhancement of power system dynamic stability through the optimal design of a power system stabilizer and UPFC using an ant lion optimization (ALO) technique to enhance transmission line capacity. The gained damping ratio, eigenvalue and time domain results of the suggested ALO technique were compared with a base case system, ALO-based PSS and ALO-based PSS-UPFC to test the effectiveness of the proposed system in different loading cases. Eigenvalues gained from an ant lion approach-based UPFC with a PSS and a base case system are compared to examine the robustness of the ALO method for various loading conditions. Thus, this paper addresses the mechanism regarding the power system dynamic stability of transmission lines by integrating the optimal size of a PSS and UPFC into the power system. Therefore, the main contribution of this manuscript is the optimal coordination of a power system stabilizer, power oscillation damper and unified power flow using ant lion optimization for the mitigation of low-frequency oscillation.
