This paper is about the optimization of power loss in the power transmission network of the Kathmandu valley using spreadsheet modeling as an optimal power flow software. It is helpful for identifying the best path for the optimum power flow in dry as well as wet season. The available generating stations and substations taken as supply and demand nodes near Kathmandu valley are considered and the network is optimized as a transshipment flow problem. The main goal in this network flow model is to determine how much power should be allowed to flow across each transmission lines with minimal losses. In addition, optimization is performed considering the power import from India as well. Considering active power flow with a different scenario, and depending upon the load demand, the power system network is modeled in order to find out the best possible routes for efficient power flow with minimum loss.

In this paper, improvement in the power transfer capacity of transmission lines (TLs) by utilizing a multi-terminal high voltage direct current (MT-HVDC) grid is discussed. A multi-terminal HVDC grid designed for wind power can be used as an extra transmission path in interconnected systems during low wind conditions, and provides extra dynamic stability and security. This paper deals with the power transfer capacity as well as the small signal (SS) stability assessments in less damped oscillations accompanying inter area modes. Computation of the maximum allowable power transfer capability is assessed via DC optimal power flow-based control architecture, permitting more power transfer with a definite security margin. The test system is assessed with and without the exploitation of MT-HVDC grid. Simulation work is done using a generic computational framework i.e., international council on large electric systems (CIGRE) B4 test bench with a Kundur’s two area system, shows that voltage source converters (VSCs) provide excellent control and flexibility, improving the power transfer capability keeping the system stable.

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) present a decision to issue trouble relief for over-extended electric power transmission lines as a result of optimal power flow (OPF) by controlling. To keep away from conventional impacts among a few gadgets placed in a similar grid, an organized control is fundamental. To defeat the issues which happen in optimal power flow to actualize the cross difference progression and coordination inspects strategy, a supervisory controller giving difference progression power flow with numerous destinations is acquired for avoiding congestion, it gives secure transmission and farthest point dynamic power misfortunes. There is no information on gadgets that have been defined in this systematic control of Thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and Thyristor controlled phase shifting Transformer (TCPST), static VAR compensator (SVC), all of these compensators providing efficient improvements and situations are described. Different optimization techniques are used as a part of the character to deal with the problem of OPF. In some experimental works, the upgrade method is used for finding out all of the fuel costs or the environmental pollution that occurs during the generation of energy. However, in some further research actions, FACTS controlled devices are used to develop the flow of electricity without considering the cost of electricity generation. While a specific end goal of using the FACTS control devices is to help optimize the congestion in the power system, it also aggregates the power loss which enhances the load capacity of the structure. The FACTS and its practical limitations are executed into the IEEE 30-bus test power framework and customized utilizing the Cross Difference Progression and Coordination Examining (CDP&CE) algorithm with MATLAB and the outcomes are given. Here, IoT-based data analytics is defined as the process, which is used to examine varied data from the bus system using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method, the results of which help to take the necessary decisions. The effect of FACTS gadgets is implemented on standard IEEE-30 transmission framework with supporting numerical outcomes by utilizing MATLAB Software.

Economic factors such as the high cost of long lines and revenue from the delivery of additional power gives strong intensive to explore all economically and technically feasible means of raising the stability limit. On the other hand, the development of effective ways to use transmission systems at their maximum thermal capability. Fast progression in the field of power electronics has already started to influence the power industry. This is one direct out come of the concept of FACTS aspects, which has become feasible due to the improvement realized in power electronic devices in principle the FACTS devices should provide fast control of active and reactive power through a transmission line. The UPFC is a member of the FACTS family with very attractive features. This device can independently control many parameters. This device offers an alternative mean to mitigate transmission system oscillations. It is an important question is the selection of the input signals and the adopted control strategy for this device in order to damp power oscillations in an effective and robust manner. The UPFC parameters can be controlled in order to achieve the maximal desire effect in solving first swing stability problem. This problem appears for bulky power transmission systems with long transmission lines.

In the simulation study, the UPFC facilitates the real time control and dynamic compensation of AC transmission system. The dynamic simulation is carried out in conjunction with the N-R power flow solution sequence. The updated voltages at each N-R iterative step are interpreted as dynamic variables.

The paradigm shift of large power systems to renewable and decentralized generation raises the question of future transmission and flexibility requirements. In this work, the German power system is brought to focus through a power transmission grid model in a high spatial resolution considering the high voltage (110 kV) level. The fundamental questions of location, type, and size of future storage units are addressed through a linear optimal power flow using today’s power grid capacities and a generation portfolio allowing a 66% generation share of renewable energy. The results of the optimization indicate that for reaching a renewable energy generation share of 53% with this set-up, a few central storage units with a relatively low overall additional storage capacity of around 1.6 GW are required. By adding a constraint of achieving a renewable generation share of at least 66%, storage capacities increase to almost eight times the original capacity. A comparison with the German grid development plan, which provided the basis for the power generation data, showed that despite the non-consideration of transmission grid extension, moderate additional storage capacities lead to a feasible power system. However, the achievement of a comparable renewable generation share provokes a significant investment in additional storage capacities.

The under consideration problem is formulated with the aid of AC-based security constrained optimal power flow (SC-OPF) considering system constraints. The target is to detect transmission lines commitment schedule that reduces system production costs and enables sufficient reserve levels from both generation and transmission. The methodology is illustrated through several computational tests on IEEE 57 and IEEE 118 bus test systems to confirm the previous objectives. It is proven that numerical results based on the use the AC model demonstrate that the calculation time is short enough and the cost savings are reasonably better than DC power flow model.

Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem is an optimization tool through which secure and economic operating conditions of power system is obtained. In recent years, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices, have led to the development of controllers that provide controllability and flexibility for power transmission. Series FACTS devices such as Thyristor controlled series compensators (TCSC), with its ability to directly control the power flow can be very effective to power system security. Thus, integration TCSC in the OPF is one of important current problems and is a suitable method for better utilization of the existing system. This paper is applied Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (COA) for the solution of the OPF problem of power system equipped with TCSC. The proposed approach has been examined and tested on the IEEE 30-bus system. The results presented in this paper demonstrate the potential of COA algorithm and show its effectiveness for solving the OPF problem with TCSC devices over the other evolutionary optimization techniques.
