An Assessment Of Power System Analysis And Control Withthe Application Of Modern Control Theory, Mulukutla S. Sarma Feb 2013

An Assessment Of Power System Analysis And Control Withthe Application Of Modern Control Theory, Mulukutla S. Sarma

Sarma Mulukutla

With the current rise in the demand of electrical energy, present-day power systems which are large and complex, will continue to grow both in size and complexity. Also our dependence on electrical energy is so great that it is essential to have uninterrupted supply of electrical power within set limits of frequency and voltage levels, and that it becomes a dire necessity to develop methods for effective control and operation of power systems. Modern control theory concepts have been effectively used and will continue to be utilized for the power system analysis and control. This paper attempts in assessing the …


Some Aspects Of Power-System Simulation, Analysis And Optimum Control, Mulukutla S. Sarma Feb 2013

Some Aspects Of Power-System Simulation, Analysis And Optimum Control, Mulukutla S. Sarma

Sarma Mulukutla

Modern power systems represent the largest man-made system in existence from the view point of invested capital. With the current rise in the demand of electrical energy, present-day power systems which are large and complex, will continue to grow both in size and complexity. Also, our dependence on electrical energy is so great that it is essential to have uninterrupted supply of electrical power within set limits of frequency and voltage levels, and that it becomes a dire necessity to develop methods for effective control and operation of power systems. Continual modification and improvement of power-system simulation are required to …


Biogeography-Based Optimization And The Solution Of The Power Flow Problem, Rick Rarick, Daniel Simon, F. Villaseca, B. Vyakaranam Jan 2013

Biogeography-Based Optimization And The Solution Of The Power Flow Problem, Rick Rarick, Daniel Simon, F. Villaseca, B. Vyakaranam

F. Eugenio Villaseca

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a novel evolutionary algorithm that is based on the mathematics of biogeography. Biogeography is the study of the geographical distribution of biological organisms. In the BBO model, problem solutions are represented as islands, and the sharing of features between solutions is represented as immigration and emigration between the islands. This paper presents an application of the BBO algorithm to the power flow problem for an IEEE 30-bus Test Case system. The BBO solution is compared with the solution of the same problem using a genetic algorithm (GA). The results of Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the …
