O amortecimento de oscilações eletromecânicas de baixa frequência é crucial para uma operação confiável dos sistemas elétricos. Estas são resultado do desbalanço entre os torques elétrico e mecânico nas máquinas síncronas após pequenas variações de carga e de geração. Caso não sejam amortecidas, estas podem deteriorar os geradores, reduzir os limites de transferência de potência entre áreas e causar blecautes. Desde a década de setenta, estabilizadores de sistemas de potência (power system stabilizers – PSS) têm sido usados para o amortecimento de oscilações através do controle da excitação dos geradores. Com o advento dos dispositivos FACTS, surgiram novas oportunidades para um controle mais eficaz em regime permanente dos sistemas bem como para o amortecimento de oscilações (através dos controladores power oscillation damper – POD). Um dos dispositivos FACTS mais usados é o Compensador Série Controlado a Tiristor (Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor - TCSC) usualmente empregado para controle de potência. Uma importante tarefa é o ajuste de vários controladores PSS e POD para o amortecimento de oscilações considerando vários pontos de operação (que traduzem a incerteza na operação do sistema). Nesse trabalho, é investigada a aplicação do algoritmo de otimização bioinspirado no comportamento dos coiotes (Coyote Optimization Algorithm - COA) no ajuste coordenado de controladores PSS e TCSC-POD para o amortecimento de oscilações considerando vários pontos de operação. Resultados promissores são obtidos pelo COA para o sistema Sul-Brasileiro.

In this paper, a hybrid optimization method, GA-SQP, is presented in which the genetic algorithm (GA) is a stochastic method is combined with the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method, which is a deterministic method. The power system stabilizers parameters tuning problem is converted to an optimization problem which is solved by hybrid GA-SQP optimization algorithm. The New England 10-unit 39-bus standard power system, under various operation conditions, is employed to illustrate the performance of the proposed method. The results are very encouraging and suggest that the hybrid GA-SQP algorithm is very efficient in damping improvement of the power system.

This paper deals with the identification of instability nodes of IEEE 30 BUS power system to generation removal. Optimal sizing and locations of reactive power compensations are obtained. Firstly one of the generators is assumed to be removed from service and the saddle node bifurcation (SNB) point voltages are evaluated without reactive power compensation. Secondly two generators are assumed to be removed from service and the saddle node point voltage magnitudes are obtained without reactive power compensation. For both cases the study is conducted by placing optimal reactive power compensations at optimal locations using Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA).

In this paper, a hybrid configuration algorithm called stochastic gradient method with variable forgetting factor (SGVFF) is proposed to better estimate unknown parameters in a power system such as amplitude and phase of harmonics using variable forgetting factor following the bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (BFO). It must be mentioned that harmonic estimation is a nonlinear problem and using linear optimization algorithms for solving this problem reduces the convergence speed. Thus, BFO algorithm is used for initial estimation. In this paper, first, using little information and by applying BFO algorithm in an off-line procedure initial value for SGVFF algorithm is achieved and then SGVFF algorithm is gained in an on-line procedure. In the hybrid algorithm applied in this paper, amplitudes and phases are estimated simultaneously. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method has faster convergence speed, better performance and higher accuracy in a noisy system in comparison with recursive least squares variable forgetting factors algorithm (RLSVFF). This proves the superiority of the proposed method.KEYWORDS:  Power system harmonic; BFO algorithm; SGVFF method; RLSVFF method
