This paper examines the electric power distribution network system of the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC); its shortcomings, costs and voltage loss in distribution with a view to finding optimal solution through determination of optimal power flow path. The Modified Dijsktra’s Algorithm was applied to generate optimal flow path model of the distribution network with seven (7) nodes from Afam Thermal Power Station (source) to the Calabar Distribution Centre (destination) via the interconnected substations. The structural design of the PHEDC distribution network and a review of relevant literatures on shortest path problems were adopted. The modified Dijkstra’s algorithm was simulated using JavaScript and is able to run on any web browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc). It was applied to a practical 330kV network using the relevant data obtained from the company and the result shows the negative effect of distance on voltage quality. It was observed that the Modified Dijkstra’s Algorithm is suitable for determining optimal power flow path with up to 98 percent level of accuracy because of its suitability for determining the shortest route in both transportation and power energy distribution as well as its overall performance with minimal memory space and fast response time.

Restoration Method

The increasingly serious energy crisis and environmental pollution problems promote the large-scale application of microgrids (MGs) and electric vehicles (EVs). As the main carrier of MGs and EVs, distribution network is gradually presenting multi-source and active characteristics. A fast service restoration method of multi-source active distribution network with MGs and EVs is proposed in this paper for service restoration of distribution network, which takes effectiveness, rapidity, economy and reliability into consideration. Then, different optimal power flow (OPF) models for the service restoration strategy are constructed separately to minimize the network loss after service restoration. In addition, a genetic algorithm was introduced to solve the OPF model. The analysis of the service restoration strategy is carried out on an IEEE distribution system with three-feeder and eighteen nodes containing MGs and EVs, and the feasibility and effectiveness are verified

Optimal Power

Incremental industrialization and urbanization is the cause of enhanced energy use as it increases the building of new lines and more inductive loads. As a result, the transmission system losses increased, and the magnitudes of voltage profile values deviated from the stated value, resulting in increased cost of active power generation. To mitigate these issues, adequate reactive power compensation in the transmission line and bus systems should be done. Reactive power is regulated by the proper position of the Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS). Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is a voltage converter system that increases the voltage profile and reduces loss. In this paper, the optimal power flow solution is considered using a FACTS device based on Multi Population Modified Jaya (MPMJ) optimization algorithm. Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) system, the optimal position of the UPFC device is determined by considering the most useful objective function provided by priorities and weighting factors. Therefore, on the standard IEEE-57 bus test system, the proposed MPMJ optimization algorithm is implemented with UPFC for optimal fuel cost values of generation, real power loss, voltage deviation and sum of squared voltage stability index. The result obtained by the proposed algorithm is contrasted with the recent literature algorithm

Transactive Energy

The technology advancement and cost decline of renewable and sustainable energy increase the penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution systems. Transactive energy helps balance the local generation and demand. Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is a promising business model for transactive energy. Such a market scheme can increase the revenue of DER owners and reduce the waste of renewable energy. This article proposes an equilibrium model of a P2P transactive energy market. Every participant seeks the maximum personal interest, with the options of importing or providing energy from/to any other peer across different buses of the distribution network. The market equilibrium condition is obtained by combining the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions of all problems of individual participants together. The energy transaction price is endogenously determined from the market equilibrium condition, which is cast as a mixed-integer linear program and solved by a commercial solver. The transactive energy flow is further embedded in the optimal power flow problem to ensure operating constraints of the distribution network. We propose a remedy to recover a near optimal solution when the second-order cone relaxation is inexact. Finally, a case study demonstrates that the proposed P2P market benefits all participants.

Optimal Power

Tujuan dari pengoperasian sistem tenaga listrik adalah untuk memasok daya dengan kualitas baik dan biaya pembangkitan seminimal mungkin. Kualitas yang baik membutuhkan biaya yang lebih besar, sehingga untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut diperlukan optimasi dengan fungsi obyektif yang bertujuan untuk memaksimalkan kualitas sekaligus meminimalkan biaya. Penelitian ini bertujuanuntuk mendapatkan kondisi aliran daya optimal atau optimal power flow (OPF) dari segi biaya pembangkitan maupun kualitas tenaga listrik di suatu sistem kelistrikan dengan opsi nuklir pada waktu beban puncak dengan menggabungkan fungsi obyektif fuel cost dan flat voltage profile. Fungsi obyektif fuel cost bertujuan untuk meminimalkan biaya pembangkitan sedangkan fungsi obyektif flat voltage profile bertujuan untuk memaksimalkan kualitas dengan meminimalkan perbedaan/variasi tegangan dalam sebuah sistem. Penelitian dilakukan melalui studi literatur, penentuan fungsi obyektif optimasi, penggabungan fungsi objektif, simulasi menggunakan contoh kasus dan analisis sensitivitas. Contoh kasus menggunakan sistem IEEE 9 Bus yang telah ditambahkan fungsi bahan bakar PLTN, PLTU, dan PLTG. Simulasi menggunakan program bantu ETAP 12.6.0. Analisis sensitivitas dilakukan dengan menggunakan nilai pembobotan dari 0-100% untuk tiap fungsi obyektif. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa OPF dicapai pada faktor pembebanan 60% untuk fuel cost dan 40% untuk flat voltage profile. Biaya pembangkitan padakondisi optimal tersebut sebesar 7266 US$/jam dengan selisih tegangan maksimum minimumnya sebesar 2,85%. Pada sistem ini PLTU membangkitkan daya sebesar 133,2 MW + 22,1 MVar dan PLTG sebesar 80,7 MW + 13,8 MVar. Sedangkan PLTN membangkitkan daya sebesar 89,9 MW + 12,9 Mvar dan akan ekonomis jika membangkitkan daya kurang dari 90 MW.
