Abstract

This paper investigates the performances of different photovoltaic (PV) array under several shading condition. Four types of photovoltaic array configuration scheme which are ‘Series’ (S), Series-Parallel’ (SP), Total-Cross-Tied’ (TCT), and ‘Bridge-Link’ (BL) array topologies were tested by applying a 6x6 PV array under 6 different shading scenarios. The modeling is developed using Matlab/Simulink. The performances and output characteristics of photovoltaic array are compared and analyzed. System engineer can use the detailed characteristics of different array configuration to approximate the outcome power and pick the best configuration of the system by concerning the current natural condition to enhance the overall efficiency.

Abstract

Evolutionary Programming (EP) is one of many types in Evolutionary Computation (EC) that used for optimization process. EP technique is used to find the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) since it is one of the accessible options schemes that can be used on the system as a reactive power support. Sometimes, it is not necessary to operate all generators in order to perform ORPD to in achieve the objectives. Also, increment of reactive power load to the system will cause voltage decomposes with the increase in transmission loss in the system. Therefore, the proposed method decides the best grouping of generators that should be operated in system by bearing in mind the transmission loss reduction. ORPD will be used to minimize the transmission loss as well the increasing reactive power loading. This method conducted on IEEE 30-bus Test System with multi cases scenario. The best combination of operating generators determined and the transmission loss after optimization is smaller compared to the transmission loss before optimization resulted.

Abstract

This paper proposes an optimization technique for distributed generation (DG) sizing in power system. The DG placement was done through Loss Sensitive (LS) technique to determine the suitable locations. The LS index is calculated such that the change in power losses is divided with generation increment and a rank of buses is obtained to identify the suitable locations for DG placement.  Subsequently, a meta-heuristic algorithm, known as Firefly Algorithm (FA) was run to obtain the optimal size or capacity of the DG. The installation takes into consideration the aspect of voltage stability in terms of total real power losses and voltage profiles to be improved in the distribution system. Based on the experiment, the real power losses and voltage profiles were improved significantly as a result of the DG placement. In addition, the installation could prevent the power system from collapse as the reactive loading was increased to maximum.
