The traditional security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) model under the classical N-1 criterion is implemented in the power industry to ensure the secure operation of a power system. However, with increasing uncertainties from renewable energy sources (RES) and loads, the existing SCOPF model has difficulty meeting the practical requirements of the industry. This paper proposed a novel chance-constrained preventive SCOPF model that considers the uncertainty of power injections, including RES and load, and contingency probability. The chance constraint is used to constrain the overall line flow within the limits with high probabilistic guarantees and to significantly reduce the constraint scales. The cumulant and Johnson systems were combined to accurately approximate the cumulative distribution functions, which is important in solving chance-constrained optimization problems. The simulation results show that the model proposed in this paper can achieve better performance than traditional SCOPF.

Optimal Power

The Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem is a fundamental building block for the optimization of electrical power systems. It is nonlinear and nonconvex and computes the generator setpoints for power and voltage, given a set of load demands. It is often solved repeatedly under various conditions, either in real-time or in large-scale studies. This need is further exacerbated by the increasing stochasticity of power systems due to renewable energy sources in front and behind the meter. To address these challenges, this paper presents a deep learning approach to the OPF. The learning model exploits the information available in the similar states of the system (which is commonly available in practical applications), as well as a dual Lagrangian method to satisfy the physical and engineering constraints present in the OPF. The proposed model is evaluated on a large collection of realistic medium-sized power systems. The experimental results show that its predictions are highly accurate with average errors as low as 0.2%. Additionally, the proposed approach is shown to improve the accuracy of the widely adopted linear DC approximation by at least two orders of magnitude.

In this paper, the optimal power flow management-based microgrid in hybrid renewable energy sources with hybrid proposed technique is presented. The photovoltaic, wind turbine, fuel cell and battery are also presented. The proposed technique is the combined execution of both spotted hyena optimization and elephant herding optimization. Spotted hyena optimization is utilized to optimize the combination of controller parameters based on the voltage variation. In the proposed technique, the spotted hyena optimization combined with elephant herding optimization plays out the assessment procedure to establish the exact control signals for the system and builds up the control signals for offline way in light of the power variety between source side and load side. The objective function is defined by the system data subject to equality and inequality constraints such as real and reactive power limits, power loss limit, and power balance of the system and so on. The constraint is the availability of the renewable energy sources and power demand from the load side in which the battery is used only for lighting load. By utilizing the proposed method, the power flow constraints are restored into secure limits with the reduced cost. At that point, the proposed model is executed in the Matrix Laboratory/Simulink working platform and the execution is assessed with the existing techniques. In this article, the performance analysis of proposed and existing techniques such as elephant herding optimization, particle swarm optimization, and bat algorithm are evaluated. Furthermore, the statistical analysis is also performed. The result reveals that the power flow of the hybrid renewable energy sources by the proposed method is effectively managed when compared with existing techniques.

This paper solves a multi-objective optimal power flow (MO-OPF) problem in a wind-thermal power system. Here, the power output from the wind energy generator (WEG) is considered as the schedulable, therefore the wind power penetration limits can be determined by the system operator. The stochastic behavior of wind power and wind speed is modeled using the Weibull probability density function. In this paper, three objective functions i.e., total generation cost, transmission losses and voltage stability enhancement index are selected. The total generation cost minimization function includes the cost of power produced by the thermal and WEGs, costs due to over-estimation and the under-estimation of available wind power. Here, the MO-OPF problems are solved using the multi-objective glowworm swarm optimiza-tion (MO-GSO) algorithm. The proposed optimization problem is solved on a modified IEEE 30 bus system with two wind farms located at two different buses in the system.

Krill Herd

Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem is one of the most important and widely studied nonlinear optimization problems in power system operation. This study presents the implementation of a new technology based on the hybrid Firefly and krill herd method (FKH), which has been provided and used for OPF problems in power systems. In FKH, an improved formulation of the attractiveness and adjustment of light intensity operator initially employed in FA, named attractiveness and light intensity the update operator (ALIU), is inserted into the KH approach as a local search perform. The FKH is prove with the solving of the OPF problem for various types of single-objective and multi-objective functions such as generation cost, reduced emission, active power losses and voltage deviation which are optimized simultaneously on exam system, viz the IEEE-30 Bus test system, which is used to test and confirm the efficiency of the proposed FKH technique. By comparing with several optimization techniques, the results produced by using the recommended FKH technique are provided in detail. The results obtained in this study appear that the FKH technique can be efficiency used to solve the non-linear and non-convex problems and high performance compared with other optimization methods in the literature. This study can achieve a minimum objective by finding the optimum setting for system control variables.
