Many contributions consider a total power constraint (TPC) on the sum of transmit power from all nodes in addressing PA problem. However, in practical implementations, each transmit node is equipped with its own power amplifier and is limited by individual power constraint (IPC). Hence these PA methods under TPC are not realizable in practical systems. Meanwhile, the PA problem under IPC is essential, but it has not been studied. This paper extends the traditional non-cooperative water-filling PA algorithm to IPC-based Co-MIMO systems. Moreover, the PA matrix is derived based on the compound channel matrix from all the cooperative nodes to the user. Therefore, the cooperative gain of the IPC-based Co-MIMO systems is fully exploited, and further the maximal instantaneous capacity is achieved. Numerical simulations validate that, under the same IPC conditions, the proposed PA scheme considerably outperforms the non-cooperative water-filling PA and uniform PA design in terms of ergodic capacity.展开更多

The objective is to maximize the system throughput. This problem is modeled as a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem and then transformed to a continuous nonlinear programming problem through eliminating integer variables. We propose the joint power control and spectrum allocation algorithm based on particle swarm optimization to obtain the global optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve higher system throughput and spectrum utilization under the constraints of transmit power and QoS requirement.展开更多

With the potential of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) production to increase the efficiency of power and heat generation simultaneously having been researched and established, the increasing penetration of CHP systems, and determination of economic dispatch of power and heat assumes higher relevance. The Combined Heat and Power Economic Dispatch (CHPED) problem is a demanding optimization problem as both constraints and objective functions can be non-linear and non-convex. This paper presents an explicit formula developed for computing the system-wide incremental costs corresponding with optimal dispatch. The circumvention of the use of iterative search schemes for this crucial step is the innovation inherent in the proposed dispatch procedure. The feasible operating region of the CHP unit three is taken into account in the proposed CHPED problem model, whereas the optimal dispatch of power/heat outputs of CHP unit is determined using the direct Lagrange multiplier solution algorithm. The proposed algorithm is applied to a test system with four units and results are provided.展开更多

The combined heat and power (CHP) is a system that provides electricity and thermal energy concurrently. For its extraordinary efficiency and significant emission reduction, it is considered a promising energy prospect. The broad application of combined heat and power units requires the joint dispatch of power and heating systems, in which the modelling of combined heat and power units plays a vital role. The present research employs the genetic optimization algorithm to evaluate the cost function, heat and power dispatch values encountered in a system with simple cycle cogeneration unit and quadratic cost function. The system was first modeled to determine the various parameters of combined heat and power units towards solving its economic dispatch problem directly. In order for modelling to be done, a general structure of combined heat and power must be defined. The test system considered consists of four units: two conventional power units, one combined heat and power unit and one heat-only unit. The algorithm was applied to test system while taking into account the power and heat units, bounds of the units and feasible operation region of cogeneration unit. Output decision variables of 4-unit test systems plus cost function from Genetic Algorithm (GA), was determined using appropriate codes. The proposed algorithm produced a well spread and diverse optimal solution and also converged reasonably to the actual optimal solution in 51 iterations. The result obtained compared favourably with that obtained with the direct solution algorithm discussed in a previous paper. We conclude that the genetic algorithm is quite efficient in dealing with non-convex and constrained combined heat and power economic dispatch problem.展开更多

In these works, the effect of reactive power flows in line loading is neglected while formulating the problem for ATC (available transfer capability) calculations. This paper presents the determination of shunt reactive power compensation in the presence of FACTS (flexible AC transmission system) devices like: SSSC (static synchronous series compensator) and UPFC (unified power flow controller) for enhancement of power transfer capability of a power system incorporating the reactive power flows in ATC calculations. In doing so, redistribution of power flow takes place and therefore improves ATC of the system. Studies on a sample 5-bus power system model are carried out to illustrate the effect of shunt compensation along with line flow control.展开更多
