Improving Power Systems Operation Through Multiobjective Optimal Location Of Optimal Unified Power Flow Controller, Afshin Lashkar Ara, Ahad Kazemi, Mohammad Behshad Jan 2013

Improving Power Systems Operation Through Multiobjective Optimal Location Of Optimal Unified Power Flow Controller, Afshin Lashkar Ara, Ahad Kazemi, Mohammad Behshad

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a multiobjective optimization methodology to find the optimal location for an optimal unified power flow controller (OUPFC) device. Moreover, the installation cost function of the OUPFC device is developed. The objective functions are the total fuel cost, power losses, and system loadability with and without the minimum cost of the OUPFC installation. The \varepsilon-constraint approach is implemented for the multiobjective mathematical programming formulation. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the IEEE 30- and 118-bus test systems. The solution procedure uses nonlinear programming to optimally locate the OUPFC incorporated in an optimal power flow problem considering these objective …


Economic Power Dispatch Of Power Systems With Pollution Control Using Artificial Bee Colony Optimization, Linda Slimani, Tarek Bouktir Jan 2013

Economic Power Dispatch Of Power Systems With Pollution Control Using Artificial Bee Colony Optimization, Linda Slimani, Tarek Bouktir

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a solution for the emission-controlled economic dispatch (ECED) problem of medium-sized power systems via an artificial bee colony algorithm. The ECED problem, which accounts for the minimization of both the fuel cost and the emission, is a multiple objective function problem. The objective is to minimize the total fuel cost of the generation and environmental pollution caused by fossil-based thermal generating units and to also maintain an acceptable system performance in terms of the limits on the generator's real and reactive power outputs, bus voltages, shunt capacitors/reactors, and power flow of transmission lines. The proposed algorithm is …


Solution Of Transient Stability-Constrained Optimal Power Flow Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm, Kürşat Ayan, Ulaş Kiliç Jan 2013

Solution Of Transient Stability-Constrained Optimal Power Flow Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm, Kürşat Ayan, Ulaş Kiliç

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The transient stability constraint should be taken into consideration for the solution of the optimization problems in power systems. This paper presents a solution for the transient stability-constrained optimal power flow (TSCOPF) by a novel approach based on the artificial bee colony algorithm. The formulas of TSCOPF are derived through the addition of rotor angle inequality constraints into optimal power flow relationships. In this nonlinear optimization problem, the objective function is taken into consideration as the fuel cost of the system. The proposed approach is tested on both a WSCC 3-generator, 9-bus system and a IEEE 30-bus system, and the …
