Modified Differential Evolution based reactive power dispatch involving multilateral power transactions in deregulated power scenario

RPD problem is solved for the real power loss minimization aspect including stable voltage profile. In the deregulated power environment power transaction is an important phenomenon which represents power transfer between supplier and utility or load center under the guidance of competent authority. Here IEEE 30 bus system is considered as test case to solve RPD issue involving multilateral power transactions. During the power transaction period voltage level imbalance, current flow and power loss enhancement are observed which indicated network congestion. Shunt capacitors and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) devices are utilized for the handling of congestion via Var compensation. The optimal size of the proposed Var compensators along with the other control variables is decided by the Modified Differential Evolution (MDE) techniques. The MDE based minimum power loss is obtained as 13.51 MW which is much improved than the other evolutionary programming method based result. The results of the paper are therefore proved to be quite encouraging.

Optimal reactive power dispatch is one of the sub-problems of the optimal power flow which is complex and nonlinear problem, which can be formulated as both single-and multiobjective. In this paper, the problem has been formulated as a single-objective problem to minimize the active power losses in the transmission lines. A recently proposed powerful and reliable meta-heuristic algorithm known as the JAYA algorithm has been applied to solve the ORPD problem. The algorithm has been applied on the standard IEEE 14, 30, 57 and 118 bus systems. The simulation results using the proposed algorithm when compared with the results from other algorithms and few others reported in the literature prove that the JAYA algorithm is the most superior among all.

Many evolutionary techniques such as particle swarm optimization, differential evolution have been applied to solve these problems and found to perform in a better way in comparison with conventional optimization methods. But often these methods converge to a suboptimal solution prematurely. This paper presents a new improved particle swarm optimization technique called self-organizing hierarchical particle swarm optimization technique with time-varying acceleration coefficients (SOHPSO_TVAC) for solving daily economic generation scheduling of hydrothermal systems to avoid premature convergence. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated on a sample test system comprising of cascaded reservoirs. The results obtained by the proposed methods are compared with other methods. The results show that the proposed technique is capable of producing comparable results.

It is a non-linear and complex optimization problem, which helps in achieving a more economic and secure operation of the system. The problem formulated a single-objective problem and is used to solve two different objective functions separately. The solution is to obtain the optimal values of the control variables to minimize the active power loss and the total voltage deviation of the system. In this paper, the modified JAYA (MJAYA) algorithm has been used to solve the ORPD problem. This algorithm is the modified version of the JAYA algorithm having better convergence compared to the latter. The proposed algorithm was tested on IEEE 14 and 57 bus system for solving the ORPD problem. The results were compared with those from many other widely used distinguished algorithms. The comparisons show the dominance of the MJAYA algorithm over the others in terms of its success in optimizing the objective functions and obtaining the best solutions to the ORPD problem.

Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch for Voltage Security using JAYA Algorithm

This helps in obtaining a more economic and secure operation of the system. Here, this complex and non-linear optimization problem has been formulated as a single objective, with two different objectives, which are optimized one at a time. The objectives considered here are the minimizing both the transmission line losses and the total voltage deviation of the system. This problem can be solved by determining the optimal solution of the different control variables by optimizing the objective functions. In this paper, a newly proposed optimization technique named the JAYA algorithm has been used for solving the ORPD problem. The standard test cases considered in this paper for solving the objective functions are IEEE 14 and IEEE 30 bus systems. The results obtained from the simulation were compared with those from different other already developed and widely used optimization techniques. The comparison of the results proved the superiority of the proposed algorithm amongst others.

Hybrid SMES Based Reactive Power Dispatch by Cuckoo Search Algorithm

IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 2019

Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems are one of the emerging technologies which... more Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems are one of the emerging technologies which might gain importance. This technology help to meet peak electrical load demands by providing time varying energy management along with voltage stability. Therefore, it can be suitably utilized to solve reactive power dispatch (RPD) for nonrestructured and restructured scenarios. The RPD involving multilateral power transactions frequently causes huge real power losses with dynamic voltage limit crossover. These are commonly tackled by capacitor placements. Due to its static behavior, the capacitors are unable to provide desired results every time. In this context, SMES can generate the desired solutions. However, the SMES also have limited power applications due to their higher installation and operating costs. Therefore, if the hybrid compensators involving capacitor and SMES are optimally chosen, the cost of operation will reduce but effective solution may be generated. This further helps to improve global welfare of the restructured network. In this work, hybrid capacitor-SMES based var compensation is utilized to solve the RPD for the nonrestructured and restructured network. The sitting and sizing of the compensators are assigned by the cuckoo search algorithm. The hybrid capacitor-SMESs achieved 3.93% more power loss reduction and 1.53 times improved economics compared to single capacitor based solution for the nonrestructured IEEE 118 bus network. Further, the hybrid capacitor-SMESs obtained 0.2362% improved global welfare from the study having no var compensators for restructured RPD considering IEEE 118 bus network.

A Novel Algorithm for Economic Load Dispatch Using a New Optimization Technique

Lecture notes in networks and systems, Jul 21, 2017

Economic load dispatch is one of fundamental issues in optimal power system operation. Several cl... more Economic load dispatch is one of fundamental issues in optimal power system operation. Several classical and modern heuristic techniques have been used to solve the problem. A novel algorithm is presented in this paper for solving economic load dispatch problem using a recently introduced simple yet powerful optimization technique called Jaya algorithm (JA). Most of the modern heuristic techniques require setting of control parameters which are usually problem specific. Moreover, there is no specific rule for the selection of these user-defined control parameters for most of the heuristic techniques. A wrong parameter may even lead to premature convergence. One of the major advantages in the proposed algorithm is that it does not require any problem-dependent control parameters. The economic load dispatch (ELD) problem is formulated by considering prohibited zones, ramp rate limits, and transmission losses satisfying a set of equality and inequality constraints. The proposed algorithm is tested on a six-unit test system in order to verify its effectiveness and efficiency. The simulation results are compared with those obtained by modern heuristic techniques. The simulation results show that the proposed technique has the capability of producing comparable results.

Effect of such on the economic welfare is observed while solving the reactive power dispatch (RPD) by differential evolution with random localization technique. This has been accomplished by a combination of static and dynamic var compensators like capacitor and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) considering the IEEE 57-bus network. Out of these 12-h variable power transactions, the Pareto efficient transactions which were reconciled by planed biding, have provided the maximum global welfare. The economics were ascertained by cumulating the net benefits of the market players and the reduced merchandising surplus caused by the var compensators. The combined capacitor–SMES based Pareto efficient observations on economic RPD were able to reduce 7.41% more power loss and 2.5 times improved economic benefit over the singular capacitor placement. This further achieved 0.069% profit enhancement in connection to the fundamental global welfare.

This type of problem is solved by various analytical programming and meta-heuristics algorithms. Among the different applied techniques, metaheuristics algorithms have always maintained themselves competitive with analytical programming. Simulated annealing (SA) is one of the popular meta-heuristics techniques in this applied power system domain due to its simple coding and local-global optimization handling capability. However optimal results of any evolutionary computation techniques including SA depends on the proper choice of the different parameters. In this paper a parametric variation based SA technique is utilized to select optimal parameters for proper convergence. Three case studies with three sets of parameters are exploited to solve RPD problem with IEEE 57-bus system. Among them the best result providing parameter sets are considered as final result. Finally the best result is compared with the other reported results. Comparative study shows the effectiveness of the applied method.
