Power Loss Minimization

A novel approach is proposed in this paper to achieve the objective of real power loss minimization and voltage profile enhancement. Network reconfiguration and allocation of various DG units are used to meet the objective. Selective particle swarm Optimization (SPSO) and novel analytical techniques are used to solve the problem of network reconfiguration and allocation of DG units simultaneously.  A new constant, Power Voltage Sensitivity Constant (PVSC), has been proposed to solve the allocation problem. The formulated mathematical expression (PVSC) determines site and size of DG units.  The level of DG penetration is considered in a range of 0–50% of total system load. A novel index is also proposed which incorporates level of DG penetration and % reduction in real power losses. Standard 69 bus system is used to validate the results obtained by proposed hybrid approaches. To show the efficacy and strength of the proposed hybrid approach, it has been compared with various techniques

Power Loss Minimization

This paper proposes an application of firefly algorithm (FA) based extended voltage stability margin and minimization of active (or) real power loss incorporating Series-Shunt flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controller named as static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) combined with static var compensator (SVC). A circuit model of SSSC and variable susceptance model of SVC are utilized to control the line power flows and bus voltage magnitudes, respectively, for real power loss minimization and voltage stability limit improvement. The line quality proximity index (LQP) is used to assess the voltage stability of a power system. The values of voltage profile improvement, real power loss minimization, and the location and size of FACTS devices were optimized by FA. The results are obtained from the IEEE 14- and 30-bus test case systems under different operating conditions and compared with other leading evolutionary techniques such as shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA), differential evolution (DE) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).
