Distribution Network Optimization Based on Genetic Algorithm

This paper presents a new robust optimization technique for distribution network configuration, which can be regarded as a modification of the recently developed genetic algorithm. The multi-objective genetic algorithm has been applied to this problem to optimize the total cost while simultaneously minimize the power loss and maximize the voltage profile. The IEEE 69-bus distribution network is used in the tests, and test results have shown that the algorithm can determine the set of optimal nondominated solutions. It allows the utility to obtain the optimal configuration of the network to achieve the best system with the lowest cost

Modified Perturb and Observe Approach in MPPT for a Standalone Photovoltaic System

This paper proposes a modified perturb and observe algorithm approach to increase the output power of an independent photovoltaic system. Today, photovoltaic application as renewable energy power plant has been prevalent. This popularity is because photovoltaic power plants are easy to apply on-grid and off-grid schemes. In standalone power generation applications, the increased photovoltaic output power is of great help to users as it contributes to increasing overall system efficiency. The perturb and observe algorithm has been known as a reliable and inexpensive method. However, the performance still needs to be improved. Therefore, this study proposes a modified perturb and observe algorithm approach. The research results show the superiority of the proposed method

Estimation of Overhead Transmission Line Fault Distance Using Unsynchronized Two-Terminal Method

This paper presents the estimation of transmission line fault distance using unsynchronized two-terminal method. In operation, high or extra-high overhead voltage transmission lines can be interrupted. The disturbance can come from internal or external interference, which is permanent or temporary. For permanent interference, the network operator must visit the location of the disturbance in order to fix it. Because the transmission line is very long, while it takes quick time to find out the location of the disturbance so that it can be repaired immediately, then a method is needed to find out the location of the disturbance. This research proposes a method for determining the location of faults based on voltage and current data at the time of interference from both ends of the transmission line. The interference voltage and current data need not be synchronized. The use of this data makes this method very simple and easy to use. However, the accuracy of the estimation results can still be relied upon. In this study, a simulation was carried out on a two-end transmission line. The transmission line has a phase disturbance to the ground. The noise resistance applied in the simulation is 0 ohms, 10 ohms, 50 ohms, and 100 ohms. The results showed that the highest estimated error was 0.3%, which indicates that this method has a high degree of accuracy

Model Power System Stabilizer Berbasis Neuro-Fuzzy Adaptif

Low frequency oscillations are detrimental to the goals of maximum power transfer and optimal power system security. A contemporary solution to this problem is the addition of power system stabilizers (PSS) to the automatic voltage regulators on the generators in the power system. For large scale power systems comprising of many interconnected machines, the PSS parameter tuning is a complex exercise due to the presence of several poorly damped modes of oscillation. The problem is further being complicated by continuous variation in power system operating conditions. This research proposes the PSS model based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy for designing robust power system stabilizers for a multi machine system. Simulations were carried out using several fault tests at transmission line on a Two-Area Multimachine Power System. Simulation is done by using Matlab-Simulink software. The result shows that power transfer response using the model is more robust than Delta w PSS, especially for single phase to ground fault

Power Flow Control of Power Systems Using UPFC Based on Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy

Optimization of system capacity electric power transmission systems requires a reliable power flow controller. The power flow controllers must be able to control the level of electrical voltage and active and reactive power flow without reducing the level of stability and security of the transmission system. Latest technology in the control of power flow is a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). The entire transmission line parameters are impedance, voltage, and phase angle can be controlled simultaneously by the UPFC. The method used in the conventional algorithms based UPFC is still firmly with logic. These algorithms have difficulties to electric power transmission systems multimachine very dynamic, i.e. systems that are experiencing rapid changes in the electrical load from time to time. Therefore, in this study was developed based on neuro-fuzzy method is applied to the adaptive UPFC for adaptively controlling the power flow in electric power transmission systems multimachine very dynamic. In this study, three phase fault is applied to the multimachine system. The results are taken to be consideration of PI and neuro-fuzzy controllers. The PI and neuro-fuzzy controllers show nearly same results but there is a low overshoot occurred during the fault in the neuro-fuzzy controllers results. According to results that UPFC improves the system performance under the transient and the normal conditions. However, it can control the power flow in the transmission line, effectively
