A PSO based approach for multi-stage transmission expansion planning in electricity markets

This paper presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based approach to solve the multi-stage transmission expansion planning problem in a competitive pool-based electricity market. It is a large-scale non-linear combinatorial problem. We have considered some aspects in our modeling including a multi-year time horizon, a number of scenarios based on the future demands of system, investment and operating costs, the N − 1 reliability criterion, and the continuous non-linear functions of market-driven generator offers and demand bids. Also the optimal expansion plan to maximize the cumulative social welfare among the multi-year horizon is searched. Our proposed PSO based approach, namely modified PSO (MPSO), uses a diversity controlled PSO to overcome the problem of premature convergence in basic PSO (BPSO) plus an initial high diversity swarm to cover the search space efficiently. The MPSO model is applied to the Garver six-bus system and to the IEEE 24-bus test system and compared to the BPSO model and a genetic algorithm based model.     

Optimal placement of multiple STATCOM for voltage stability margin enhancement using particle swarm optimization

This paper proposes an approach for optimal placement of STATic synchronous COMpensator (STATCOM) in power systems. The approach is based on the simultaneous application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and continuation power flow (CPF) to improve voltage profile, minimizing power system total losses, and for maximizing system loadability with respect to the size of STATCOM. Simulation results show the suitability of the PSO technique in finding multiple optimal solutions to the problem with reasonable computational effort. The installation of the STATOCM on these buses can increase the system voltage stability margin. The proposed technique is examined on the IEEE57 bus test system.

A hybrid multi-agent based particle swarm optimization algorithm for economic power dispatch

This paper presents a new multi-agent based hybrid particle swarm optimization technique (HMAPSO) applied to the economic power dispatch. The earlier PSO suffers from tuning of variables, randomness and uniqueness of solution. The algorithm integrates the deterministic search, the Multi-agent system (MAS), the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and the bee decision-making process. Thus making use of deterministic search, multi-agent and bee PSO, the HMAPSO realizes the purpose of optimization. The economic power dispatch problem is a non-linear constrained optimization problem. Classical optimization techniques like direct search and gradient methods fails to give the global optimum solution. Other Evolutionary algorithms provide only a good enough solution. To show the capability, the proposed algorithm is applied to two cases 13 and 40 generators, respectively. The results show that this algorithm is more accurate and robust in finding the global optimum than its counterparts.

Solving economic load dispatch problems in power systems using chaotic and Gaussian particle swarm optimization approaches

The objective of the Economic Dispatch Problems (EDPs) of electric power generation is to schedule the committed generating units outputs so as to meet the required load demand at minimum operating cost while satisfying all units and system equality and inequality constraints. Recently, global optimization approaches inspired by swarm intelligence and evolutionary computation approaches have proven to be a potential alternative for the optimization of difficult EDPs. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based stochastic algorithm driven by the simulation of a social psychological metaphor instead of the survival of the fittest individual. Inspired by the swarm intelligence and probabilities theories, this work presents the use of combining of PSO, Gaussian probability distribution functions and/or chaotic sequences. In this context, this paper proposes improved PSO approaches for solving EDPs that takes into account nonlinear generator features such as ramp-rate limits and prohibited operating zones in the power system operation. The PSO and its variants are validated for two test systems consisting of 15 and 20 thermal generation units. The proposed combined method outperforms other modern metaheuristic optimization techniques reported in the recent literature in solving for the two constrained EDPs case studies.

Distribution Systems Reconfiguration using a modified particle swarm optimization algorithm

This paper presents the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for solving the optimal distribution system reconfiguration problem for power loss minimization. The PSO is a relatively new and powerful intelligence evolution algorithm for solving optimization problems. It is a population-based approach. The PSO is originally inspired from the social behavior of bird flocks and fish schools. The proposed PSO algorithm in this paper is introduced with some modifications such as using an inertia weight that decreases linearly during the simulation. This setting allows the PSO to explore a large area at the start of the simulation. Also, a modification in the number of iterations and the population size is presented. Comparative studies are conducted on two test distribution systems to verify the effectiveness of the proposed PSO algorithm. The obtained results are compared with those obtained using other techniques in previous work to evaluate the performance.
