Abstract

Transmission line is one of the important elements in the process of power transfer from the source of generation to the consumer. In order to analyze the performance of a transmission line, it has to be represented by an equivalent model with suitable circuit parameters at a per phase basis. The line models are used to measure voltages, currents and the amount of power flow depending on the line length. Transmission line performance is determined by the voltage regulation and its efficiency under their normal operating conditions. In this study, a systematic approach was developed in order to assists the lecturers in teaching this important topic to the students despite so many complicated mathematical equations involved in the calculation. With the aid of Graphical User Interface (GUI), the performance of transmission line can be determined and monitored due to the change of line parameters. The results obtained could assist the lecturers in delivering the concept of engineering in a more systematic approach. On top of that, it could also assist the power system utility in planning the transmission line that needed to be installed in the system.

Abstract

Monitoring fault current is very important in power system protection. Therefore, the impact of installing Distributed Generation (DG) on the fault current is investigated in this paper. Three types of fault currents which are single line-to-ground, double line-to-ground and three phase fault are analyzed at various fault locations. The optimal location of DG was identified heuristically using power system simulation program for planning, design and analysis of distribution system (PSS/Adept). The simulation was conducted by observing the power losses of the test system by installing DG at each load buses. Bus with minimum power loss was chosen as the optimal location of DG. In order to study the impact of DG to the fault current, various locations and sizes of DG were also selected. The simulations were conducted on IEEE 33-bus distribution test system and IEEE 69-bus distribution test system. The results showed that the impact of DG to the fault current is significant especially when fault occurs at busses near to DG location.

Abstract

Events such as natural and manmade interference, line, transformer and feeder outages that occur in electric power distribution system negatively impact the continuity of power supply, thus affecting the power demand supply as well as customer’s satisfaction. In that cases, the restoration of power needs to be carried out immediately in order to guarantee the system’s reliability. The power flow path identification is considered as a difficult task especially in a huge system due to large number of switches. Kruskal’s algorithm is presented in this paper to find the minimum power flow path in a power distribution network. The comparison of performance between presented Kruskal’s algorithm and Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) was made in solving a problem regarding network reconfiguration. The proposed load restoration approach is tested on IEEE 33-bus single feeder radial distribution system using MATLAB software. From the results, it is found that the presented Kruskal’s algorithm was able to search for the minimal power flow path that contribute to loss reduction for power restoration after the occurrence of fault.

Abstract

This paper proposed the integration of solar energy resources into the conventional unit commitment. The growing concern about the depletion of fossil fuels increased the awareness on the importance of renewable energy resources, as an alternative energy resources in unit commitment operation. However, the present renewable energy resources is intermitted due to unpredicted photovoltaic output. Therefore, Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) is proposed to solve unit commitment problem in smart grid system with consideration of uncertainties .ALO is inspired by the hunting appliance of ant lions in natural surroundings. A 10-unit system with the constraints, such as power balance, spinning reserve, generation limit, minimum up and down time constraints are considered to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. The performance of proposed algorithm are compared with the performance of Dynamic Programming (DP). The results show that the integration of solar energy resources in unit commitment scheduling can improve the total operating cost significantly.

Abstract

Prediction of solar irradiance is important for minimizing energy costs and providing high power quality in a photovoltaic (PV) system. This paper proposes a new technique for prediction of hourly-ahead solar irradiance namely Grey Wolf Optimizer- Least-Square Support Vector Machine (GWO-LSSVM). Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) has strong ability to learn a complex nonlinear problems. In GWO-LSSVM, the parameters of LSSVM are optimized using Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO). GWO algorithm is derived based on the hierarchy of leadership and the grey wolf hunting mechanism in nature. The main step of the grey wolf hunting mechanism are hunting, searching, encircling, and attacking the prey. The model has four input vectors: time, relative humidity, wind speed and ambient temperature. Mean Absolute Performance Error (MAPE) is used to measure the prediction performance. Comparative study also carried out using LSSVM and Particle Swarm Optimizer-Least Square Support Vector Machine (PSO-LSSVM). The results showed that GWO-LSSVM predicts more accurate than other techniques.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to anticipate the stability status of a power system when the system is exposed to a change in frequency and rotor angle due to small disturbances. The proposed study was implemented on the IEEE Reliability Test System 1979 (IEEE RTS-79) which contains 24 buses, 38 transmission lines and 32 generators. Steady state stability limit of a system refers to the maximum amount of power that is permissible through the system without loss of its steady state stability. This research proposes the development of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to observe the frequency and rotor angle stability due to the effect of small disturbances using the One Machine Infinite Bus (OMIB) technique. This proposed technique could ease the power system utility especially the power system operation to observe and examine the system frequency and rotor angle stability due to small disturbances. The findings from this research has proven that the proposed technique to observe the frequency and rotor angle stability due to small disturbances has successfully been developed using a GUI.

Abstract

Machine learning application have been widely used in various sector as part of reducing work load and creating an automated decision making tool. This has gain the interest of power industries and utilities to apply machine learning as part of the operation. Fault identification and classification based machine learning application in power industries have gain significant accreditation due to its great capability and performance. In this paper, a machine-learning algorithm known as Support Vector Machine (SVM) for fault type classification in distribution system has been developed. Eleven different types of faults are generated with respect to actual network. A wide range of simulation condition in terms of different fault impedance value as well as fault types are considered in training and testing data. Right setting parameters are important to learning results and generalization ability of SVM. Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) kernel function has been used for training of SVM to accomplish the most optimized classifier. Initial finding from simulation result indicates that the proposed method is quick in learning and shows good accuracy values on faults type classification in distribution system. The developed algorithm is tested on IEEE 34 bus and IEEE 123 bus test distribution system.
