The aim of this research is to study the effect of HVDC transmission systems on reducing power losses and improving voltage profile. This paper presents a solution to the problems of an overloaded transmission line through selecting the optimal location for the HVDC system. For this purpose, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) uses to optimize the voltage profile, reduce power losses and handle power flow in overloaded transmission lines. MATLAB utilizes to engage both the GA and Newton Raphson method to solve the load flow problem. The proposed approach examined and tested on the IEEE Large Scale 57-bus test system. Power System Simulator for Engineering (PSS/E) package Version 32.0 is used as practical part to solve the functions of power system performance. The results demonstrated the ability of the proposed method to determine the optimum location of the HVDC line which reduces power loss and improves the “voltage profile” of the bus.
