Firstly, a new catastrophic operator to enhance the genetic algorithms’ convergence stability is proposed. Then, a new probability algorithm of crossover depending on the number of generations, and a new probability algorithm of mutation depending on the fitness value are designed to solving the main conflict of the convergent speed with the global astringency. In these ways, the ICGA can prevent premature convergence and instability of genetic-catastrophic algorithms (GCA). Finally, the ICGA is applied for power system reactive power optimization and evaluated on the IEEE 14-bus power system, and the application results show that the proposed method is suitable for reactive power optimization in power system.展开更多

To deal with the problem,quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) is firstly introduced in this paper,and according to QPSO,chaotic quantum particle swarm optimization (CQPSO) is presented,which makes use of the randomness,regularity and ergodicity of chaotic variables to improve the quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm. When the swarm is trapped in local minima,a smaller searching space chaos optimization is used to guide the swarm jumping out the local minima. So it can avoid the premature phenomenon and to trap in a local minima of QPSO. The feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm are verified by the results of calculation and simulation for IEEE 14-buses and IEEE 30-buses systems.展开更多

Based on the primal-dual interior-point algorithm, the algorithm maintains an updating “filter” at each iteration in order to decide whether to admit correction of iteration point which can avoid effectively oscillation due to the conflict between the decrease of objective function and the satisfaction of constraints and ensure the global convergence. Moreover, the “filter” improves computational efficiency because it filters the unnecessary iteration points. The calculation results of a practical power system indicate that the algorithm can effectively deal with the large number of inequality constraints of the fuzzy model of reactive power optimization and satisfy the requirement of online calculation which realizes to decrease the network loss and maintain specified margins of voltage.展开更多

The proposed approach uses more particles’ information to control the mutation operation. The proposed PNSIA algorithm is also extended to handle mixed variables, such as transformer taps and reactive power source in- stallation, using a simple scheme. PNSIA applied for optimal power system reactive power dispatch is evaluated on an IEEE 30-bus power system and a practical 118-bus power system in which the control of bus voltages, tap position of transformers and reactive power sources are involved to minimize the transmission loss of the power system. Simulation results showed that the proposed approach is superior to current methods for finding the optimal solution, in terms of both solution quality and algorithm robustness.展开更多

In order to improve the voltage stability, this paper analyzed how the voltage stability was influenced by different reactive power injection based on the simplified L-indicator of on-line voltage stability monitoring. According to the basic differential property of the simplified L-indicator, a general and normative analytical algorithm about reactive power optimization was deduced. The analytical algorithm can calculate the load node injected reactive power, and then the network can run in the optimal steady state on the basis of the calculation results. According to the simulation results of IEEE-14, IEEE-30, IEEE-57 and IEEE-118, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm to improve voltage stability and reduce the risk of grid collapse were verified.展开更多

TNEP can be incorporated with reactive power planning in which the operating conditions will be satisfied. In this paper a combinatorial mathematical model has been presented to solve transmission expansion and reactive power planning problem (TEPRPP) simultaneously. The proposed model is a non-convex problem having a mixed integer nonlinear nature where the number of candidate solutions to be evaluated increases exponentially according to the system size. The objective function of TEPRPP comprises the new circuits’ investment and production costs as well as load curtailment penalty payments. A real genetic algorithm (RGA) aimed to obtaining a significant quality solution to handle such a complicated problem has been employed. An interior point method (IPM) is applied to solve the proposed concurrent optimization problem in the solution steps of TEPRPP model. This paper proposes a new methodology for the best location as well as the capacity of VAr sources;it is tested on two well-known systems;the Garver and IEEE 24-bus systems. The obtained results show the capability and the viability of the proposed TEPRPP model incorporating operating conditions.展开更多

TSRO with integer recourses is then solved by a new column and constraint generation algorithm. Results show a robust Var reserve contract can fully eliminate market power, and prevent suppliers from manipulating market prices.展开更多

The main results obtained during this study are: a reduction in subscribed power from 14913.978 kVA to 14010.100 kVA, a reduction in the transformer load rate from 99.4% to 93.4%, a reduction in reactive power called from 5481.729 kVAr to 481.729 kVAr, an increase in the active power transported by the substation from 8505.062 kW to 8962.323 kW, a reduction in the voltage drop from 4.8% to 3.9%, an increase in the power available at the secondary of the transformer station at full load from 13950 kW to 14700 kW and an annual electrical energy saving of 339943.48 kWh of electrical energy, therefore fuel savings and a reduction in CO<sub>2</sub> and SO<sub>2</sub> emissions due to this energy saving will be achieved. The installation of capacitor banks for optimization of reactive energy allowed a reduction in the current called therefore a reduction in the absorbed power: 14153.061 kVA, i.e. a reduction of 903.876 kVA. It is therefore essential that energy players are convinced of the need to install capacitors to reduce or even eliminate their reactive energy bill. This is necessarily accompanied by an investment by Electricité De Guinée by setting up active and reactive energy meters but also by implementing pricing in line with the reduction in the transfer of reactive energy in the network.展开更多
