In fact, the space vector is a well-known and effective tool for monitoring power quality issues in modern power systems. In many practical cases waveform distortion requires a DFT in order to extract the fundamental component and the harmonic/interharmonic content. In particular, the space vector shape (on the complex plane) of the fundamental component provides information such as voltage dips, whereas space-vector spectral lines provide information related to waveform distortion. Additive noise mainly impacts on low-magnitude spectral lines which require a statistical characterization. Conventional results available in the literature cannot be used in a straightforward way because a space vector is a complex-valued function, therefore special care is needed for proper interpretation and use of its properties in the frequency domain. In the paper, the probability density function, the mean value and the variance of the magnitude of space-vector DFT spectral lines are derived in closed form. Analytical results are validated by means of numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":6628,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Electrical Engineering Congress (iEECON)","volume":"53 4","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91494082","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}

Normally, higher load demand leads to instability and insufficient power supply. To make an electrical power system stable and sufficient, a good correlation between demand and supply should exist. A survey conducted during 2011 indicated that residential sector is consuming 18% of total energy. Also, the demand was seen to increase rapidly close to and sometimes beyond the supply. Hence, this paper focuses on appliance scheduling for cost reduction and peak load reduction by increasing demand-side response in the smart home. A load management algorithm is developed in MATLAB which reduces both cost and peak load consumption by managing the operation according to utility controls and consumer preferences. The optimization problem was solved by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique. The simulation results depicted that GA can be adopted for appliance scheduling in the household, reduction of electrc bill as well as cutback of peak demand from the demand side.","PeriodicalId":6628,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Electrical Engineering Congress (iEECON)","volume":"58 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83129422","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}

However the major challenge is how to handle both equality and inequality constraints properly. The penalized fitness is commonly used to evaluate quality of candidate solutions. Moreover searching for feasible space is very difficult for a problem with large number of variables and number of constraints. This paper proposes a general framework which can be applied to any EA for handling constraints in ED problems. Four EAs namely differential evolution (DE), genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and harmony search (HS) were selected to demonstrate effectiveness in solving a non-convex ED problem of a 15 unit power system. Simulation results reveal that with the proposed constraint handling all optimization algorithms converge to the identical result based on 20 independent trials.","PeriodicalId":6628,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Electrical Engineering Congress (iEECON)","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89265234","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}
