Abstract

This paper presents an approach based on biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm to solve the distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) problem for minimizing active power loss. Also it is demonstrated that with considering the nature of reconfiguration problem, among the intelligent algorithms, BBO approach could result the best performance. One of the remarkable advantages of this study is comparing seven different intelligent algorithms in solving network reconfiguration problem. This comparison, not only includes final fitness in optimization process, but also considers number of function evaluation (NFE). The effectiveness of the BBO method has been tested on two different distribution systems and the obtained simulation results are compared with Genetic algorithm (GA), Particle swarm optimization (PSO), Artificial bee colony (ABC), Gravitational search algorithm (GSA), Technical learning based optimization (TLBO) and Cuckoo algorithm (CA). The comparison results show that BBO approach can be an efficient and promising method for solving DNR problems.

Abstract

Reconfiguration, by exchanging the functional links between the elements of the system, represents one of the most important measures which can improve the operational performance of a distribution system. Besides, reclosers use to eliminate transient faults, faults isolation, network management and enhance reliability to reduce customer outages. For load uncertainty a new method based on probabilistic interval arithmetic approach is used to incorporate uncertainty in load demand that can forecast reasonably accurate operational conditions of radial system distribution (RDS) with better computational efficiency. In this paper, the optimization process is performed by considering power loss reduction along with reliability index as objective functions. Simulation results on radial 33 buses test system indicates that simultaneous optimization of these two issues has significant impact on system performance.

Abstract

In this paper an online accurate prediction method is proposed to enhance the speed of Transactionient stability assessment. This method is the measurement basis technique resulted from wide area measurement systems (WAMS). In the proposed method, the generators with same dynamic behavior, referred as to coherent generators, are clustered as a same group and they can be considered as an equivalent bus. So the system will be reduced into a small scale system. The admittance matrix parameters of the reduced system can be identified with the least square algorithm. Then the trajectory prediction is performed by real-time simulations. Obtained results from simulations on New England test system show the high noticeable efficiency for performance of the proposed method, capable in predicting of the disturbed trajectory under existence of unknown parameters in grid structure..

Abstract

The most of the new protective schemes are based on a communication channel, which cannot be guaranteed in practice. However, during blackouts or cascading failures in the power grid, as system conditions change significantly and rapidly, more information exchanges may be required by the control centers and substations. In other words, the communication channels are operating with high load and therefore become more vulnerable when the power grid is in contingent conditions. Thus, relying on the communication channel for decision making may not be the optimal solution for protective relays, although it might be beneficial to have information exchange. In this article, a novel protective logic is proposed based on phasor measurement units (PMUs) data for optimal coordination of overcurrent relays. PMUs measure the positive sequence voltage at two substations separated by hundreds of miles which are synchronized precisely with the aid of a GPS satellite system. The precise time-tags are attached with samples, and this information is exchanged over communication channels and collected by control centers and/or substations. By extracting the relevant information from these measurements, phasor information can be obtained at any node where PMUs are installed in the power grid. This can be used to do more accurate state estimation, control, and protection. In these relays, besides current and voltage, phasor information has become an important measurement in decision making. The proposed method is tested on IEEE 8-bus standard network.

Abstract

Protection of equipment, safety of persons and continuity of power supply are the main objectives of the grounding system. For its accurate design, it is essential to determine the potential distribution on the earth surface and the equivalent resistance of the system. The knowledge of such parameters allows checking the security offered by the grounding system when there is a failure in the power systems.A new method to design an earthing systems using Finite Element Method (FEM) is presented in this article.In this approach, the influence of the moisture and temperature on the behavior of soil resistivity are considered in EARTHING system DESIGN. The earthing system is considered to be a rod electrode and a plate type electrode buried vertically in the ground.The resistance of the system which is a very important factor in the design process is calculated using Finite Element Method. Finite Element Method is used to estimate the solution of the partial differential equation that governs the system behavior. COMSOL Multiphysics 4.4 which is one of the packages that work with the FEM is used as a tool in this design.Finally the values of the resistance obtained by COMSOL Multiphysics are compared with the proven analytical formula values for the ground resistance, in order to prove the work done with COMSOL Multiphysics.

Abstract

The duty of protective systems is the timely detection of fault and removing it from the power network. The accuracy of the results and reducing the execution time of the optimizing algorithm are two crucial elements in selecting optimizing algorithms in protective functions. The most important protective elements that are used in power networks are distance and overcurrent relays. In this article, a new algorithm is presented to solve the optimization problem of coordination of overcurrent and distance relays by using Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm which considers the non-linear model overcurrent relays at all stages of setting. The proposed method is tested on a standard 8-bus power system network. Also the results obtained have been compared with other evolutionary algorithms. The results show that the proposed approach can be provide more effective and practical solutions to minimize the time function of the relays and achieving optimal coordination in comparison with previous studies on optimal coordination of overcurrent and distance relays in power system networks.

Abstract

Usually coordination of overcurrent relays is done by taking into account the specific structure of the system which does not show the real state of the system. On the other hand, dynamic changes in network can occur due to short circuit conditions, the malfunctioning relays, development, operation and repairs on any part of the power system. Also the most of the new protective schemes are based on a communication channel, which cannot be guaranteed in practice. Therefore, solving the problem of relay coordination is extremely difficult in case of dynamic changes in the network structure and the absence of communication links between some relays. In this article, a novel protective logic based on phasor measurement units (PMUs) data is proposed for optimal coordination of overcurrent relays. In this method, by using the PMU measurements, phasor information can be obtained continuously at any node where PMUs are installed in the power grid. For this purpose, in the first the Optimal PMU placement is determined for full network observability. Then, the dynamic changes of network will be observe by using wide area measurements based on PMUs data. Finally this information is sent via communication links PMUs for the optimal coordination of overcurrent relays. The use of PMU for the coordination of overcurrent relays improve the decision making capability and performance of protective relays and help them to form a reliable and robust protection system. The proposed method is tested on IEEE 8-bus and 14-bus standard networks.
