This paper presents a new multi-objective optimization based reactive power price clearing (RPPC) mechanism, considering voltage stability. Use of realistic voltage dependent load models is important in power system analysis and optimization. The influence of the same on RPPC is investigated in this paper. Investigations have also been carried out to ascertain the effectiveness of objectives su...

In this paper, a new reactive power market clearing (RPMC) mechanism for day-ahead competitive electricity market is developed based on multi-objective optimization approach. In proposed mechanism, three objective functions such as total payment function (TPF) for reactive power support from generators and synchronous condensers, total real transmission loss (TRTL) and voltage stability enhance...

Abstract: With the growing influence of fog and haze (F-H) weather and the rapid development of distributed energy resources (DERs) and smart grids, the concept of the virtual power plant (VPP) employed in this study would help to solve the dispatch problem caused by multiple DERs connected to the power grid. The effects of F-H weather on photovoltaic output forecast, load forecast and power sy...

The economical and secure operation of power systems has significant importance. Due to technical limitations, the best economical operation point is not always the desired operating point for system stability or power losses. In this study, first, the most economical operating point is obtained by solving the nonlinear, network-constrained economic dispatch problem using a genetic algorithm. T...

Coordinated dispatch of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) with renewable energies has been proposed in recent years. However, it is difficult to achieve effective PEV dispatch with a win-win result, which not only optimizes power system operation, but also satisfies the requirements of PEV owners. In this paper, a multi-period PEV dispatch framework, combining day-ahead dispatch with real-time d...

dynamic economic load dispatch is one of the most important roles of power generation’s operation and control. it determines the optimal controls of production of generator units with predicted load demand over a certain period of time. economic dispatch at minimum production cost is one of the most important subjects in the power network’s operation, which is a complicated nonlinear constraine...
