In this paper, a multi-objective optimization method is implemented by using of genetic algorithm techniques in order to determine optimum configuration of solar chimney power plant. The objective function which is simultaneously considered in the analysis is output power of the plant. Output power of the system is maximized. Design parameters of the considered plant include collector radius (R...

Bevrani, Hassan (2004) Decentralized robust load-frequency control synthesis in restructured power systems. Preface This dissertation is mainly focused on technical issues associated with load-frequency control (LFC) in restructured power systems. Operating the power system in a deregulated environment is more complex than in the past, due to the considerable degree of interconnection and the p...

Load Frequency Control (LFC); Generation Rate Constraint (GRC); Governor Dead Band (GDB); Differential Evolution (DE); Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC); Redox Flow Battery (RFB) Abstract In this paper, a Modified Integral Derivative (MID) controller is proposed for Load Frequency Control (LFC) of multi-area multi-source power system in deregulated environment. The multi-source power system ...

This paper proposes a new control strategy to consider the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind generation contribution in frequency control and regulation of multi-area interconnected power system when the wind power is the main generation of one area. Based on frequency requirements and system conditions, the proposed control approach determines whether to switch the wind generation int...

this paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. in this study, some facts (flexible ac transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. each device here is modeled as ...

this paper proposes a novel approach for coherent generators online clustering in a large power system following a wide area disturbance. an interconnected power system may become unstable due to severe contingency when it is operated close to the stability boundaries. hence, the bulk power system controlled islanding is the last resort to prevent catastrophic cascading outages and wide area bl...

In a de-regulated open access environment, reactive power is one of the ancillary services which must be provided by an Independent System Operator (ISO). In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed in which reactive power resources are initially so tuned that optimum security in terms of voltage profile and voltage stability are achieved while at the same time, the system losses are minimized. ...
