We focus on the power system reliability such as reserve ratio better than cost function as the objective function of GMS problem. It is shown that particle swarm optimization-based method is more effective in obtaining feasible schedules such as GMS problem related to power system planning and operation. In our paper, we find the optimal solution of the GMS problem within a specific time horizon using hybrid PSO algorithm, simple modification to the standard particle swarm optimization adding mutation operator of GA to solve the stagnation problem. Actual data obtained from the IEEE reliability test system (1996) including 32-generators are applicable to the GMS problem. From the result, we can conclude that the hybrid PSO is enough to look for the optimal solution effectively in the generating unit maintenance scheduling problem. It is also envisaged that hybrid PSO (HPSO) algorithm can be easily implemented for similar optimizations and scheduling problems in power system problems to obtain improved solutions.","PeriodicalId":320068,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Intelligent Systems Applications to Power Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127404340","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}

For concrete analysis, a simple two-player game model is introduced, focusing on two pure strategy Nash equilibria: an equilibrium at which generators offer their true capacities, and an equilibrium at which generators offer exaggerated capacities. The latter case is caused by asymmetries of information between players and called 'moral hazard' in the economics literature. Our consideration of the practical electricity markets reveals that the moral hazard case is highly probable. Moreover, consideration of the current capacity market design in the real world led us to conclude that the better the electricity energy market performs, the higher the risk of moral hazard becomes. For illustration, a numerical example is presented.","PeriodicalId":320068,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Intelligent Systems Applications to Power Systems","volume":"30 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132553607","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}

To improve the inherent variable frequency, variable voltage, and loading effects of the studied wind synchronous generator (SG) under random wind speeds, an AC-to-DC converter and a battery system are employed to combine distinct generated energies from the wind SG and a PV module. The stored energy in the battery is converted into a single-phase source with constant voltage and constant frequency to supply isolated single-phase loads by means of a DC-to-DC boost converter and a DC-to-AC inverter. The d-q axis equivalent-circuit models for the SG, AC-to-DC converter, DC-to-AC inverter, DC-to-DC boost converter, PV module, and battery system are respectively derived to establish the complete dynamic system equations of the studied hybrid system. Experimental results obtained from a laboratory 300 W SG, a 24 V, 1.5 kW PV module, and a 24 V, 250 Ah battery system are compared with the simulated results to validate the proposed system model. Small-signal stability of the studied system under various operating points and different disturbance conditions is also carried out by using eigenvalue analysis and dynamic simulations, respectively.","PeriodicalId":320068,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Intelligent Systems Applications to Power Systems","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131573131","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 most vulnerable load buses of the system from voltage stability point of view have been identified by Modal analysis. A separate feed forward type of ANN is trained for each vulnerable load bus. For each of these ANN's, some novel inputs, comprising of the moments obtained by multiplying the real power and reactive power contributions with the electrical distance between each generator-vulnerable load bus pair and the reactive power margins available at the generators, are used in addition to the usually used inputs viz. the real and reactive power loads and the voltage magnitude at the vulnerable load bus. The target output for each input pattern is obtained by computing the distance to voltage collapse from the current system operating point using a continuation power flow type algorithm (Contour Program) incorporating the Q limits of the generators. The proposed method has been applied to the IEEE 30 bus test system. The distances to voltage collapse obtained by the ANN and by the analytical method are found to be closely matching with each other.","PeriodicalId":320068,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Intelligent Systems Applications to Power Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125679483","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}

Offshore wind parks are connected to the main grid with long cables and reactive power management is a big concern to the operators in the changing wind power conditions. This paper addresses the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD), which is a mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problem. The integer variables in ORPD are tap positions of the transformers, switching of cables and switched reactors, if present. A new adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO), which is free from tuning of population size and is based on different sized groups of particles called \"Tribes\", is used to solve the ORPD problem. The proposed APSO is embedded in the Newton-Raphson load flow program. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated on a real offshore wind farm, which is currently in planning stage, in Germany.","PeriodicalId":320068,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Intelligent Systems Applications to Power Systems","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114239046","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}

There are some inherent aspects in distribution networks that prevent the straightforward application of transmission network methodologies to distribution systems. This paper describes a new approach to the use of Artificial Neural Networks for the solution of the fault location problem in energy distribution systems.
