The optimised allocation of FACTS devices is a complex problem in large-scale power systems. The optimal placements of FACTS devices can have a determinant effect on the performance of the entire electrical network. In this paper, the proper allocation of SSSCs is proposed. Sensitivity analysis is used in order to model SSSCs effects on the power system. The advantage of this modelling is to accelerate the optimization process. By using SA for modelling the SSSC, optimization needs only one load flow in the initial state. According to this method, there is no need for exact modelling of SSSCs. Due to its high speed, another advantage of this method is its ability to cover all possible solution areas and all candidate places for SSSCs. Additionally, the number of SSSCs is not fixed and it can vary during optimization which is very beneficial. This approach is based on the objective function including transient stability and active power transmission capacity indices. The proposed method is applied on a typical 6-bus network and the 57-bus IEEE test system. The results show the superior performance of this method.
