Abstract

This research applies new computing methods to optimize the operation of a typical hydrothermal system for one day. The system consists of one thermal power plant (TPP) and one pumped storage hydropower plant (PSHP). The main target of the research is to determine the amount of water that must be discharged or pumped back to the reservoir to reduce the total electricity production cost (TEPC) of TTP. The volumes of water storage in the reservoir at the beginning and end points of the schedule must be the same. Three meta-heuristic algorithms are applied, including Coot optimizer (COOT), aquila optimizer (AO), and particle swarm optimizations (PSO) in which COOT and AO were proposed at early 2021. The results show that the effectiveness of COOT is better than AO, PSO and several methods in previous studies. Hence, COOT is considered a powerful computing tool for the problem.

Abstract

The mismatch between load demand and supply power may increase when distributed generation based on renewable energy sources is connected to the distribution system (DS). This paper shows the optimal battery energy storage system (BESS) placement problem on the DS to minimize the electricity cost. Diverse electricity prices are considered for normal, off-peak and peak hours in a day. Wild geese algorithm (WGA) is applied to optimize the location and power of the BESS. The problem and the efficiency of WGA is validated on the 18-bus DS four scenarios consisting of the DS without BESS placement, the DS with BESS placement, the DS existing photovoltaic system (PVS) without BESS placement and the DS existing PVS with BESS placement. The numerical results show that optimal BESS placement is an effective solution for minimizing electricity cost on the DS with and without PVS. In addition, the results have also shown that WGA is a potential method for the BESS placement problem.

Abstract

In this paper, a bonobo optimizer (BO) and two other methods, particle swarm optimization (PSO) and salp swarm algorithm (SSA), are implemented to determine the location and sizing of photovoltaic distributed generators (PDGs) and capacitors in IEEE 69-bus radial distribution system with many nonlinear loads. The objective of the study is to minimize the costs for purchasing energy from main grid for load demand and power loss on transmission lines as well as cost for emission fines from fossil fuel generation units of the grid under considering strict constraints on penetration, voltage, current and harmonic distortions. The results have shown that BO is the best and most stable method in solving the considered optimization problem. With the use of the optimal solution from BO, the total cost is significantly reduced up to 80.52%. As compared to base system without capacitors and PDGs, the obtained solution can reduce power loss up to 94.48% and increase the voltage profile from the range of [0.9092 1.00] pu to higher range of [0.9907 1.0084] pu. In addition, total harmonic distortion (THD) and individual harmonic distortion (IHD) are also much improved and satisfied under the IEEE Std. 519. Thus, BO is a suitable method for the application of installing capacitors and PDGs in distribution systems.
