Abstract: Static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is one of the most effective flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices used for enhancing power system security. In this paper, optimal location and sizing of SSSC are investigated for solving the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem in order to minimize the active power loss in the transmission networks. A new and efficient chemical reaction optimization (CRO) is proposed to find the feasible optimal solution of the SSSC based optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem. The proposed approach is carried out on the standard IEEE 30 bus and IEEE 57 bus test systems. The optimization results obtained by the proposed CRO are analyzed and compared with the same obtained from genetic algorithm (GA), teaching learning based optimization (TLBO), quasi-oppositional TLBO (QOTLBO) and strength pareto evolutionary algorithm (SPEA). The results demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed approach to generate true and well-distributed optimal solutions.
