To ensure the efficiency of the regime of electric power systems (EPS) most of the time should work near their physical limits, including the conditions of static aperiodic stability. To calculate the margin factors for active power corresponding to the existing scheme-operational situations (adaptive), when using the aggregate indicators of the mode in which the second derivatives are selected from the total active power losses in the network according to the controlled parameter. Safety factors allow you to separate the area "flow" modes, in which when equal to perturbing influences will have received a large response from areas of normal functioning.

Power flow control is an important task of development of electric power systems. It is necessary to reduce the power loss, improve the reliability and quality of power supply and increase the power transmission. Currently, on the basis of modern power electronics effective FАСТS devices for flexible control of power system operation modes have been developed. FАСТS devices are able to simultaneously influence the voltage, the reactance, the angle between the voltages. As it is known, the calculations of the established modes of electric systems are the most frequently performed tasks at all the territorial and time levels of control and planning operations. These calculations are significant by themselves, being also an integral part of software systems of calculation of losses of power and energy in electrical networks, calculation of optimal modes and also sustainability. The need for multiple mode calculation imposes high requirements to the methods of calculation of the established modes in real time in terms of performance and reliability of the results of the solution being obtained under operating conditions of electric power systems. In traditional calculations of the established modes of electrical networks, shunt reactors, current-limiting reactors, capacitor banks, longitudinal compensation devices were accounted in the simulation as passive elements. In regard with the introduction of FACTS devices in power systems, there is an arising need to develop appropriate algorithms and implement them in the form of software for analyzing and controlling the established modes of power systems. The methodology and software for calculation of the established modes of electric networks with consideration of FACTS devices have been developed. The software makes it possible to obtain practically acceptable solutions in three outer iterations. Based on the results of numerical simulation of modes of the power system of the “Azerenergy” JSC it was determined that the application of FACTS devices can significantly increase the transmission line active power, improve voltage levels and reduce losses of active power. The dependences of flows and power losses on the control parameter of FACTS devices have been derived.

Purpose In the vast majority of published papers, the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem is dealt as a single-objective optimization; however, optimization with a single objective is insufficient to achieve better operation performance of power systems. Multi-objective ORPD (MOORPD) aims to minimize simultaneously either the active power losses and voltage stability index, or the active power losses and the voltage deviation. The purpose of this paper is to propose multi-objective ant lion optimization (MOALO) algorithm to solve multi-objective ORPD problem considering large-scale power system in an effort to achieve a good performance with stable and secure operation of electric power systems. Design/methodology/approach A MOALO algorithm is presented and applied to solve the MOORPD problem. Fuzzy set theory was implemented to identify the best compromise solution from the set of the non-dominated solutions. A comparison with enhanced version of multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOEPSO) algorithm and original (MOPSO) algorithm confirms the solutions. An in-depth analysis on the findings was conducted and the feasibility of solutions were fully verified and discussed. Findings Three test systems – the IEEE 30-bus, IEEE 57-bus and large-scale IEEE 300-bus – were used to examine the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. The findings obtained amply confirmed the superiority of the proposed approach over the multi-objective enhanced PSO and basic version of MOPSO. In addition to that, the algorithm is benefitted from good distributions of the non-dominated solutions and also guarantees the feasibility of solutions. Originality/value The proposed algorithm is applied to solve three versions of ORPD problem, active power losses, voltage deviation and voltage stability index, considering large -scale power system IEEE 300 bus.


The article dwells upon optimizing, reduction of losses in, and improving the stability of grids by implementing devices that affect the parameters and power flows in a grid. State-of-the-art technology for better control is crucial for the development of electric power systems. FACTS technologies or flexible alternating current transmission systems, essentially transform the grid from a passive electricity transport into a device that actively controls the grid parameters. The article analyzes the development of a 500/220/110 kV grid that uses parameter-affective devices: SVC, BSK, LCD. Steady-state parameters, active power losses, and electric power losses were calculated for a year before and after the devices were deployed. Each device was therefore analyzed for effectiveness. The parameters of the SVC-equipped 500/220/110 kV grid were calculated for emergency operation with the 500 kV line being offline. Thus, the paper also analyzes the emergency performance of the SVC.

Optimal placement of distributed generators can address these issues significantly by alleviating active power losses and ameliorating voltage profile in a cost effective manner. In this research, multi-objective optimal placement problem is decomposed into minimization of total active power losses, maximization of bus voltage profile enhancement and minimization of total generation cost of a power system network for static and dynamic load characteristics. Optimum utilization factor for installed generators and available loads is scaled by the analysis of yearly load-demand curve of a network. The developed algorithm of N-bus system is implemented in IEEE-14 bus standard test system to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method in different loading conditions.</span>

Considering the strong influence of distributed generation (DG) in electric distribution systems and its impact on network voltage losses and stability, a new challenge has appeared for such systems. In this study, a novel analytical algorithm is proposed to distinguish the optimal location and size of DGs in radial distribution networks based on a new combined index (CI) to reduce active power losses and improve system voltage profiles. To obtain the CI, active power losses and voltage stability indexes were used in the proposed approach. The CI index with sensitivity analysis was effective in decreasing power losses and improving voltage stability. Optimal DG size was determined based on a search algorithm to reduce active power losses. The considered scheme was examined through IEEE 12-bus and 33-bus radial distribution test systems (RDTS), and the obtained results were compared and validated in comparison with other available methods. The results and analysis verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in reducing power losses and improving the distribution system voltage profiles by determining the appropriate location and optimal DG size. In IEEE 12 and 33 bus networks, the minimum voltage increased from 0.9434 p.u and 0.9039 p.u to 0.9907 p.u and 0.9402 p.u, respectively. Additionally, the annual cost of energy losses decreased by 78.23% and 64.37%, respectively.
