The major requirement is a reliable and ecofriendly electrical power source. Of late, renewable energy sources have increasingly become popular as alternative source of electricity. They can provide immense aid in improving the reliability of the power system, when placed properly. The alternative integrated energy sources along with FACTS devices can provide a promising future for reliable power systems. In this paper, an effective location for the solar power unit and Interline Power Flow Controller using Line Severity Index is proposed in order to avoid contingencies. An Indian 62 bus system and IEEE 57 bus system are considered for the study. The Firefly algorithm is used to tune the IPFC in the Integrated Energy Systems scenario, for a dual objective function. The effect of placement of the solar unit and the optimized IPFC is analyzed and studied in detail in this paper.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/inventions7010030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,2]],"date-time":"2022-03-02T08:37:16Z","timestamp":1646210236000},"page":"30","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Strategic Placement of Solar Power Plant and Interline Power Flow Controllers for Prevention of Blackouts"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Akanksha","family":"Mishra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Vignan\u2019s Institute of Engineering for Women, Visakhapatnam 530049, India"}]},{"given":"Nagesh Kumar Gundavarapu","family":"Venkata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, JNTUA CE, Pulivendula 516390, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5355-9348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sravana Kumar","family":"Bali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, GITAM University, Visakhapatnam 530045, India"}]},{"given":"Venkateswara Rao","family":"Bathina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, V R Siddhartha Engineering College, Vijayawada 520007, India"}]},{"given":"Uma Maheswari","family":"Ramisetty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering, Vignan\u2019s IIT, Visakhapatnam 530049, India"}]},{"given":"Srikanth","family":"Gollapudi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Life Sciences and Systems Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Fukuoka 808-0135, Japan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6294-5144","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hady","family":"Habib Fayek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electromechanics Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Heliopolis University, Cairo 11785, Egypt"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6899-8442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eugen","family":"Rusu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, \u2018Dunarea de Jos\u2019 University of Galati, Domneasca Street, 800008 Galati, Romania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1234","DOI":"10.1109\/TSTE.2015.2424885","article-title":"Integrated modeling and assessment of the operational impact of power-to-gas (P2G) on electrical and gas transmission networks","volume":"6","author":"Clegg","year":"2015","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
