This paper presents an application of Firefly Algorithm (FFA) to recognize the optimal placement of Static Var Compensator (SVC) in a power system network. A circuit model of SVC is utilized to regulate the bus voltage magnitudes and line power flows for improvement of voltage profile and real power loss minimization respectively. The key reason for the voltage instability is the insufficient reactive power at the load buses of the system. Here IEEE 57 bus system is taken into consideration for finding the optimal location and sizing of SVC using FFA. To validate the proposed algorithm, simulation is performed on standard IEEE 57 bus system using MATLAB software package. The simulation results obtained from FFA are compared with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and found to be better.
