A Hybrid Maco And Bfoa Algorithm For Power Loss Minimization And Total Cost Reduction In Distribution Systems, Muthubalaji Sankaramoorthy, Malathi Veluchamy
A Hybrid Maco And Bfoa Algorithm For Power Loss Minimization And Total Cost Reduction In Distribution Systems, Muthubalaji Sankaramoorthy, Malathi Veluchamy
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper presents a multiobjective optimization methodology to optimally place a STATCOM in electric power distribution networks. The combination of multiobjective ant colony optimization (MACO) and the bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (BFOA) is proposed to minimize the power loss and total cost. The main intention of this analysis is to optimally place the STATCOM at multiple locations such as the transmission side, middle, and load side. Identifying the type and location of the STATCOM is a combinatorial optimization problem in power systems. In order to overcome this problem, the combination of hybrid MACO and BFOA algorithms is applied in this …

Reliability-Based Generation Resource Planning In Electricity Markets, Maziar Mirhoseini Moghaddam, Mohammad Hossein Javidi, Mohsen Parsa Moghaddam, Majid Oloomi Buygi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper proposes a reliability-based competitive generation resource planning model in electricity markets. The Monte Carlo simulation method is applied to consider random outages of generation units and transmission lines as well as load uncertainty. In order to determine the optimal plan for installation of candidate generating units, the decisions of generation companies (GenCos) and the independent system operators (ISOs) are investigated. The method is based on an iterative process for simulating interactivity among ISOs and GenCos and is repeated until security and reliability constraints assumed by the ISO are fulfilled. In the proposed model, the ISO utilizes a new …

A Novel Approach Based On Reliability Sensitivity Analysis To Allocate Protective Devices, Hamed Hashemi Dezaki, Hossein Askarian Abyaneh, Mehdi Garmrudi, Hossein Mahdinia, Kazem Mazlumi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In electrical distribution systems, it is possible to have a reliable system via a well-designed protective scheme. The allocation of protective devices is an important parameter in the design of a protective scheme. Different approaches to optimize the allocation of protective devices have been studied. Because of some uncertainties, it is not the best strategy to select an optimized solution in accordance with certain conditions. The availability of the protective devices seriously affects the reliability of electrical distribution systems. Furthermore, reduction of the investment in some designing processes leads to a decrease in the number of protective devices that will …
