Abstract

In this study, the problem of optimal capacitor location and size determination (OCLSD) in radial distribution networks for reducing losses is unraveled by moth swarm algorithm (MSA). MSA is one of the most powerful meta-heuristic algorithm that is taken from the inspiration of the food source finding behavior of moths. Four study cases of installing different numbers of capacitors in the 15-bus radial distribution test system including two, three, four and five capacitors areemployed to run the applied MSA for an investigation of behavior and assessment of performances. Power loss and the improvement of voltage profile obtained by MSA are compared with those fromother methods. As a result, it can be concluded that MSA can give a good truthful and effective solution method for OCLSD problem.

Abstract

In this paper, optimal short-term hydrothermal operation (STHTO) problem is determined by a proposed high-performance particle swarm optimization (HPPSO). Control variables of the problem are regarded as an optimal solution including reservoir volumes of hydropower plants (HdPs) and power generation of thermal power plants (ThPs) with respect to scheduled time periods. This problem focuses on reduction of electric power generation cost (EPGC) of ThPs and exact satisfactory of all constraints of HdPs, ThPs and power system. The proposed method is compared to earlier methods and other implemented methods such as particle swarm optimization (PSO), constriction factor (CF) and inertia weight factor (IWF)-based PSO (FCIW-PSO), two time-varying acceleration coefficient (TTVACs)-based PSO (TVAC-PSO), salp swarm algorithm (SSA), and Harris hawk algorithm (HHA). By comparing EPGC from 100 trial runs, speed of search and simulation time, the suggested HPPSO method sees it is more robust than other ones. Thus, HPPSO is recommended for applying to the considered and other problems in power systems.

Abstract

In this paper, optimal load dispatch problem under competitive electric market (OLDCEM) is solved by the combination of cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) and a new constraint handling approach, called modified cuckoo search algorithm (MCSA). In addition, we also employ the constraint handling method for salp swarm algorithm (SSA) and particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) to form modified SSA (MSSA) and modified PSO (MPSO). The three methods have been tested on 3-unit system and 10-unit system under the consideration of payment model for power reserve allocated, and constraints of system and generators. Result comparisons among MCSA and CSA indicate that the proposed constraint handling method is very useful for metaheuristic algorithms when solving OLDCEM problem. As compared to MSSA, MPSO as well as other previous methods, MCSA is more effective by finding higher total benefit for the two systems with faster manner and lower oscillations. Consequently, MCSA method is a very effective technique for OLDCEM problem in power systems.

Abstract

This paper proposed modified sunflower optimization (MSFO) for the combination of network reconfiguration and distributed generation placement problem (NR-DGP) to minimize power loss of the electric distribution system (EDS). Sunflower optimization (SFO) is inspired form the ideal of sunflower plant motion to get the sunlight and its reproduction. To enhance the performance of SFO, it is modified to MSFO wherein, the pollination and mortality techniques have been modified by using Levy distribution and mutation of the best solutions. The results are evaluated on two test systems. The efficiency of MSFO is compared with that of the original SFO and other algorithms in literature. The comparisons show that MSFO outperforms to SFO and other methods in obtained optimal solution. Furthermore, MSFO demonstrates the better statistical results than SFO. So, MSFO can be a powerful approach for the NR-DGP problem.
