Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) technique is used for the optimal positioning of FACTS devices under various loading cases in IEEE 14 bus system. In this paper, the effects of active and reactive loadings are studied and power flow analysis is performed for the proper placement of FACTS devices. The suggested method with active and reactive loading using FACTS devices is compared with Krill herd algorithm (KHA). It is found that the BBO algorithm improves real power loss, operating cost and system loadability significantly.
