Emission Dispatch Problem with Cubic Function Considering Transmission Loss using Particle Swarm Optimization

In this research, authors have exploited particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique for solving the emission dispatch problem. Authors have used cubic function, instead of quadratic function, to solve emission dispatch problem to make the system more robust against nonlinearities of actual power generator. PSO with cubic function reveals better results by optimizing less emission of hazardous gases, transmission losses and showing robustness against nonlinearities than simplified direct search method (SDSM)

Simulation and Analysis of DSTATCOM in Power System

Power and energy are two essentials inputs for economic development and improving the quality of life. With the increasing size and complexity of the transmission networks, the performance of the power system decreases due to the complex challenges problems related with power quality. FACTS and HVDC technologies offers some effective schemes to meet these demands. An attempt is made in this paper to discuss the developments of FACT devices, different types of FACT devices and simulation of DSTATCOM, using SIMULINK is carried out for comparing various issues relating to power transmission
