In this paper, the new hybrid particle swarm optimization (hybrid-PSO) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO), evolutionary programming (EP), and tabu search (TS) is developed. Hybrid-PSO is proposed to determine the optimal allocation of multi-type flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers for simultaneously maximizing the power transfer capability of power transactions between generators and loads in power systems without violating system constraints. The particular optimal allocation includes optimal types, locations, and parameter settings. Four types of FACTS controllers consist of thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC), thyristor-controlled phase shifter (TCPS), static var compensator (SVC), and unified power flow controller (UPFC). Power transfer capability determinations are calculated based on optimal power flow (OPF) technique. Test results on IEEE RTS 24-bus system, IEEE 30-bus system and, IEEE 118-bus system indicate that optimally placed OPF with FACTS controllers by the hybrid-PSO could enhance the higher power transfer capability more than those from EP and conventional PSO.
