The Flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) is considered one of the most developed technologies applied for enhancing the performance of system due to their ability of adjusting different parameters in the transmission systems such as the buses voltage, the transmission line impedance, the active and reactive powers flow in transmission lines. The static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is an effective member of the FACTS which is connected in series with the transmission lines and it consists of a solid-state voltage source inverter coupled with a transformer which aims to control and secure the operation of the power system. The main function of SSSC is inserting a controllable voltage in series with the transmission line to control the active and reactive powers flow in transmission lines. Solving the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem is nonlinear, non-convex and it becomes a complex problem with integration of the SSSC. The contributions of article include, 1) an efficient and reliable optimization algorithm is developed to solve the ORPD problem and identify the optimal location and ratings of the SSSC, 2) The proposed algorithm is based on modifying the salp swarm algorithm (SSSA) using Levy Flight Distribution and spiral movement of particles to enhance the searching capabilities of the SSA, 3) an efficient model of SSSC based on power injection approach is used for representation the SSSC in ORPD. The ORPD is solved with and without the SSSC controller to minimize power losses and voltage deviations as well as improve the voltage stability. The proposed algorithm for ORPD is tested on the standards IEEE 30-bus and 57-bus systems. The simulation results demonstrate that MSSA is more effective and superior for solving the ORPD compared with some other reported meta-heuristic techniques. Moreover, the system performance is enhanced considerably with optimal inclusion the SSSC.
