This paper presents an efficient Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm for solving large scale economic load dispatch (ELD) problems in power networks. To realize the ELD, the valve-point loading effect, system load demand, power losses, ramp rate limits and prohibited operation zones are considered here. Simulations were performed on four different power systems with 3, 6, 15 and 40 generating units and the results are compared with two forms of power systems, one power system is with a wind power generator and other power system is without a wind power generator. The results of this study reveal that the proposed approach is able to find appreciable ELD solutions than those of previous algorithms.

The Impact

With the fast development of the wind power, security constraints of power systems have become the bottleneck of the acceptable capacity for wind power. The underdamping oscillation modes of the inter-area is an important aspect of the constraints. In this paper, an equivalent model of a power system with wind plants has been established, and the impact of the integration of the large-scale wind power on the inter-area oscillation modes has been studied based on the frequency-domain and time-domain simulations. The results indicate that the damping of inter-area oscillation mode can be enhanced by the replacement of synchronous generators (SGs) with the wind generators. The enhancing degree is up to the participation value of the SGs replaced. The conclusion has been verified by the actual system example of Xinjiang-Northwest grid. It can provide a reference for system programming and operation.

© 2016 IEEE. A flux pump (FP) exciter injects dc current into the higherature superconducting (HTS) field coils of an HTS rotating machine without a slip ring and current leads. When designing a large-scale HTS generator with integrated FP exciter, the coil inductance, field current, and time constant need to be optimized for better performance of the machine. In this paper, a 12-MW HTS wind power generator with integrated FP exciter was designed. The essential parameters of a 12-MW HTS generator were optimized using the Taguchi method, targeting the minimization of weight and volume of the generator, the length of HTS wire, and the inductance. In particular, the FP exciter was adopted for supplying dc current to the HTS field coils without the power supply and the slip ring. The magnetic field distribution was analyzed using the 3-D finite-element method. The induced dc current and charging and discharging times of the FP exciter were compared with the metal current leads, for confirmation of the effectiveness of the FP exciter. The detailed results of the HTS generator design were discussed in detail.

Power Restoration

The integration of distributed generation (DG) units such as wind power into the distribution network are one of the most viable technique to meet the energy demand increases. But, the integration of these DG units into power systems can change the dynamic performances of the systems and create new challenges that are necessary to be taken care of in the operation of the network. The fault location and diagnosis are the most significant technical challenges that can improve power systems’ reliability and stability. In this paper, a Multi-Agent System (MAS) based on current amplitude and current direction measured proposed for fault location, isolation, and power restoration in a smart distribution system with the presence of a wind power generator. The agents can communicate and collaborate to locate the faulted line, then send trips signal to corresponding circuit breakers accordingly. The simulation results show the performance of the proposed techniques.

Brushless high-temperature superconducting (HTS) flux pump exciters, which enable large currents to be injected into a superconducting circuit without requiring a power supply, slip ring, and current leads, are promising candidates for HTS rotating machine application. This paper outlines the design and heat load analysis of a 12-MW HTS wind power generator module employing a brushless HTS exciter. The 12-MW HTS generator module and the HTS exciter were simulated using the 3-D finite element method. The module design of the generator was focused on reducing the heat load and inductance per rotor pole for application of an HTS exciter. A highly permeable ferromagnetic material was used to increase the magnetic flux density incident on the HTS stator wire of the exciter, even with a large radial gap between the rotor and the stator, and hence increase the injected current. Based on the electromagnetic simulations, the design of the module was confirmed, and the iron loss of the exciter was calculated. Then, the conduction and radiation heat loads were simulated. The induced dc current value and ramping time of the DC current at the HTS stator wire of the exciter were calculated. The detailed results of the module with the HTS exciter were discussed, and the results obtained in this paper are useful in designing large-scale HTS generators. © 2016 IEEE.

Reactive power compensation is one of the practical tools that can be used to improve power systems and reduce costs. These benefits are achieved when the compensators are installed in a suitable place with optimal capacity. This study solves the issues of optimal supply and the purchase of reactive power in the IEEE 30-bus power system, especially when considering voltage stability and reducing total generation and operational costs, including generation costs, reserves, and the installation of reactive power control devices. The modified version of the artificial bee colony (MABC) algorithm is proposed to solve optimization problems and its results are compared with the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and the genetic algorithm (GA). The simulation results showed that the minimum losses in the power system requires further costs for reactive power compensation. Also, optimization results proved that the proposed MABC algorithm has a lower active power loss, reactive power costs, a better voltage profile and greater stability than the other three algorithms.
