This study presents a finding an optimal location and best parameter setting of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) by Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) for minimizing the active and reactive power loss in power system. The UPFC is one of the important Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) device that control simultaneously voltage magnitude at the sending end and the active and reactive power at the receiving end bus. The FACTS devices have been proposed to be effective for controlling the power flow in transmission lines. However the cost of installing the UPFC is too high. Therefore the objective functions used in this study consider a way to find the compromise solution to a problem. Simulations have been implemented in MATLAB software and IEEE 30 bus system is used. Installing the UPFC in the optimal location by BFO Algorithm can significantly minimize the active and reactive power loss in the power system network.
