Abstract: Optimum power flow is a useful tool for planning and operating the electrical system and maintains the economy and safety of the modern electrical system. Teaching, Learning based Algorithm is one of the new Metaheuristic algorithms which can influence both teachers and students by expediting the interaction among them in sharing the necessary knowledge. The proposed TLBO is designed here to solve the problem of an optimum power flow with STATCOM FACTS device. The optimal location of STATCOM FACTS device on the weak bus is obtained by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The main objective of this study is to reduce fuel cost of generation, reduce active and reactive power loss, improve voltage deviation and enhance voltage stability index within the given control variable constraints. The proposed TLBO algorithm with STATCOM device is evaluated on the standard IEEE-57 bus system. From the simulation result, it shows that the Teaching Learning-based algorithm gives the optimal solution as compared to the recent algorithm mentioned in the literature with some IEEE-57 bus test system.
