An improved Bayesian optimisation algorithm is implemented to reduce the number of optimisation iterations for electricity prices, while a graph theory-based forward-backward sweep method is employed to enhance power flow calculation efficiency. Secondly, distinct optimisation strategies are applied to MGs with varying operational profiles: the internet data centre MGs implement the differential evolution algorithm, while the time-shift load MG employs the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy, striking a balance between computational speed and solution accuracy for the MG cluster. Moreover, the demand response load layer is modelled and solved as a linear optimisation problem.

This paper presents a new model called BiGRU-CNN to improve the operation of STLF in smart grids. The BiGRU-CNN model integrates bidirectional gated recurrent units (BiGRUs) to model temporal dependencies and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to extract spatial patterns from energy consumption data. The newly developed BiGRU captures past and future contexts through bidirectional processing, and the CNN component extracts high-level features to enhance the accuracy of load demand prediction.

Moving from the deterministic ‘N-1’ security criterion to a probabilistic security criterion in security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) can safely increase the power transfer capability of power systems. However, this has been computationally intractable for large power systems when including corrective actions. In this paper, a fast and scalable iterative methodology for solving the SCOPF problem is proposed using problem decomposition and the inverse matrix modification lemma (IMML). The proposed probabilistic corrective-SCOPF formulation tackles system operational security planning by combining previous research with considerations of short-term and long-term post-contingency limits, probability of branch outages, and preventive and corrective actions. Using two post-contingency states and contingency probabilities, the SCOPF could provide improved system security at a lower cost when compared to the SCOPF with only preventive actions, for example, the typical ‘N-1’ formulation. Additional security is ensured using a post-contingency load-shedding limit constraint based on system operator policy. The bearing idea in the proposed solution methodology is to relax the problem and then iteratively add constraints as and when they are violated, resulting in a solution that satisfies all constraints in the original problem. Solving the post-contingency power flow using the IMML with bus voltage angles was found to be up to four orders of magnitude faster than doing the same using a high-performance sparse matrix solver (KLU) with power transfer distribution factors. The proposed methodology is applied to a range of test systems containing up to 10,000 buses with a computational time of up to 3375 s for 12,706 branch contingencies. Calculating the contingency power flows takes 1.3% of the total solution time using the proposed methodology, by exploiting the IMML.</p>","PeriodicalId":13261,"journal":{"name":"Iet Generation Transmission & Distribution","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/gtd2.70055","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143809463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, during severe contingency events, renewable resources such as photovoltaics (PV) may trip prematurely due to their own protection strategies, potentially occurring before load shedding and leading to cascading outages. This paper presents a novel hybrid special protection scheme (SPS) for autonomous (standalone) power systems with renewables. The proposed approach combines an event-based system separation strategy with a response-driven under-frequency load shedding (UFLS) strategy to mitigate premature renewables tripping, thereby preventing catastrophic cascading load shedding. Hybrid particle swarm optimization is employed to determine the optimal splitting points in the power system. Additionally, the total shed loads at all steps of 81L relays in the separated areas are minimized, while the average frequency nadir across all separated areas is maximized. The uncertainty in PV power generation is modeled using probabilistic methods to account for various scenarios. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using a 31-bus standalone power grid with a total demand of 66.62 MW and PV power generation of 7.61 MW. The results show that the proposed method sheds only 11.30 MW of load and trips 2.18 MW of PV power generation, compared to 25.28 MW of load shedding and 6.47 MW of PV tripping observed in existing methods under high irradiance conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":13261,"journal":{"name":"Iet Generation Transmission & Distribution","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/gtd2.70054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143801479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
