Unlike traditional mutation operators that scatter offspring with a fixed probabilistic distribution, the SF uses the shape of the population chosen by the selection operator as the probabilistic distribution in order to conform the offspring settlement to the fitness landscape. Experiments on test functions show that the SF is feasible both in search exploitation and exploration. Finally, the SF is applied to parameter estimation of a Kalman filter example that constitutes a 19-dimensional problem. Benchmarking with the expectation-maximization algorithm, the SF produces lower mean-square-estimates consistently. The robustness and feasibility of SF to practical problems are verified.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

One aspect of importance is the improvement in stability achieved with AC-DC power transmission. In this paper a methodology for the optimal proportional integral derivative (PID) controller design using the modified genetic algorithm (MGA) is proposed to improve the transient stability of AC-DC power systems after faults. This study consists of the formulation of load-flow calculation, basic controls on HVDC transmission system, mathematical model selection for stability analysis, and supplementary signal control by an optimal PID controller using the MGA. The proposed method is verified using computer simulation. The results show the application of the MGA-PID controller in AC-DC power systems has improved the transient stability. The PID controller design using MGA method has been shown to be advantageous when applied for the AC-DC power systems.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

The proposed method also identifies the critical measurements, and sets of measurements that removed at same time from the measurement set make the power system unobservable. The redundancy level is very important to operators in order to guide the search for adequate reinforcement of the available measurement set. The proposed method is based on the linear dependency relation of the rows of the Jacobian matrix. To determine this relation, a convenient exchange of basis in the state space is made. The exploration of sparsity techniques and some adaptations make the proposed method simple and fast. This method has been tested in the IEEE-14-bus system, and in two realistic systems of the Brazilian utilities (one of them is a 121-bus system from ELETROSUL, and the other is a 384-bus system from CHESF-Companhia Hidroeletrica do Sao Francisco).","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

To provide reliable design criteria it is necessary to link the electrical shock safety criteria with acceptable risk levels applicable for people, in the context of an electrical power system under earth fault conditions. The paper addresses the basis of the various criteria and identifies inconsistencies that have been introduced when transferring laboratory data to published body current criteria. Interference theory and Monte Carlo simulation techniques are used to statistically appraise the actual level of safety afforded by various safety criteria when compared with the benchmark body current criteria. Directions for rationalisation or change are identified to ensure consistency with physiological criteria and to ensure that appropriate economic, as well as defensible levels of safety are applied to power system installations.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.
