Multi-objective optimal operation with demand management and voltage stability

Abstract

Due to the electric power liberalization, many power producers are entering into the deregulated power market. Most of the electrical power companies are introducing Renewable Energy Sources (RES), which will increase the power system uncertainty. Consequently, the underlyng uncertainty imposed by RES will increase the likelihood of voltage instability and voltage collapse. Also, fluctuations in supply and demand are increased by the introduction of renewable energies. On the other hand, Demand Response Program (DRP) is one of the potential solutions that reduces the power fluctuations. In this study, we proposed multi-objective optimal operation based Unit Commitment (UC) considering voltage stability and demand response. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation results using the MATLAB.
