The UC problem involves determining the start-up and shutdown schedules for generating units to meet the forecasted demand at the minimum cost. The commitment schedule must satisfy other constraints such as the generating limits per unit, reserve and individual units. We combined a genetic algorithm with the chaos search. First, it generates a set of feasible unit commitment schedules, and then puts the solution to the SA. The CCA has good global optima search capabilities, but poor local optima search capabilities. The SA method on the other hand, has good local optima search capabilities. Through this combined approach an optimal solution can be found.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114272310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The leadership-company, which has large capacity and low cost in system, may exert the competition superiority by employing bidding strategies, such as capacity withholding, to gain additional profits. Thus, how to investigate the strategic bidding behaviors and how to analyze potential market power of leadership-company are important research areas in electricity market. The pricing model of leadership-company based on optimization is proposed in this paper. The optimal bidding capacities, profits and settlement prices can be produced by an iteration algorithm. The results are compared with the corresponding data of normal competition to evaluate the bidding behaviors of a leadership-company. Based on the varying loads of a whole day, the bidding strategies of a leadership-company have been analyzed by a simple 8-bus system example.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130535632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is helpful to screen out the invalid allocations where flow controllers may cause instability in the system. Finally, by comparison with the flow controllability of each allocation, the optimal one hit the target of flow control can be found.

Not negligible nonlinear phenomena increase computational complexity especially for what control system design concerns. Classical control design, based on linearization techniques has become no more suitable to take into account strong nonlinear effects and unmodeled dynamics, while input-output feedback linearization shows computational difficulties as the order of the system to be linearized increases. In this paper the classical feedback-feedforward technique for linear systems has been applied to a particular cascade connection of an input-output linearized system feeded by a linear system. The proposed approach achieves perfect tracking for the linearized model and an overall reduction in computational effort.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"180 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113999716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, we found that the settings of overcurrent protection relay of excitation transformer were improper in our investigation and through with the other plant.

Capacitor control is important in maintaining power quality in distribution systems. The problem formulation of capacitor control may be expressed as a combinatorial optimization problem of capacitor banks. Meta-heuristics is more efficient for solving a combinatorial optimization problem. In particular, tabu search of meta-heuristics is one of the promising meta-heuristics. However, tabu search still has room for improving the solution quality in a large-scale combinatorial optimization problem. This paper proposes a new tabu search that makes use of the dual code for the initial value. For a given initial value, the dual code is considered and a couple of initial values allow the algorithm to evaluate better solutions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in the 32-node and 69-node distribution systems.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124140438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
