Rezaeipour Department of Electrical Engineering, Tabriz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran A. Kazemi Department of Electrical Engineering, Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran Journal Article 2016 07 19 In this paper, steady state Analysis of a Rotary Hybrid Flow Controller (RHFC) as a new member of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controllers is described based on mathematical model for Optimal Power Flow. Also, operating region of RHFC is extracted. Furthermore, the optimization problem of RHFC is investigated to optimize the total fuel cost, power losses, system loadability and cost of FACTS installation as objective functions in IEEE 14- bus and 30-bus test systems using GAMS and Matlab softwares. It has been noted, thatthe optimization problem is modeled as (MINLP) and(NLP) problems in the mentioned softwares and solved using DICOPT and MINOS solvers. In order to highlight the operational ability of RHFC, the simulation results are compared to a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) from economical and technical points of view.
