A Parallel Genetic Algorithm for Service Restoration in Electric Power Distribution Systems

چکیده
Absrracf This paper develops a coarse-grain parallel genetic algorithm for solving a service restoration problem in electric power distribution systems. Power utility performs service restoration in order to restore out-ofservice areas at fault. Developing effective service restoration procedure is a cost-effective approach to improve service reliability and to enhance customer satisfaction. The main objective in service restoration procedure is to restore as much load as possible by transferring &-energized loads via network reconfigurations to other supporting distribution feeders without violating operating and engineering constraints. Details of the parallel genetic algorithm developed in this paper are described. The proposed method is implemented on transputers for parallel computations. The feasibility of the developed algorithm for service restoration is demonstrated on several distribution networks with promising results.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) are driven by two energy convertors, i.e., an Internal Combustion (IC) engine and an electric machine. To make powertrain of HEV as efficient as possible, proper management of the energy elements is essential. This task is completed by HEV controller, which splits power between the IC engine and Electric Motor (EM). In this paper, a Genetic-Fuzzy control strategy...
