          The PSO method is a member of wide
category of swarm intelligence methods for solving
the optimization problems. It is population based

as particle and represents a candidate solution. Each      Fig:5 Position updates of particles in particle swarm

This is because the and location of TCSC. To validate the capacitance cancels or compensates some of the effectiveness of the TCSC on enhancing system inductance of the line and therefore the relay may stability, Eigen values analysis and nonlinear perceive a fault to be in its first zone when the fault time-domain simulation implemented on SMIB is actually in the second or third zone of protection. equipped with TCSC. The eigenvalue analysis and Similarly, first zone faults can be perceived to be simulation results show the effectiveness and reverse faults! Clearly this can cause some costly robustness of proposed controllers to improve the operating errors.
