Due to the deregulation trend in electric power system networks, many factors have to be taken into consideration such as lack of supplying electric power, system reliability, power quality, electric system losses and voltage disturbance and profile problems. The excessive growing needs for electricity force electrical researchers to implement new approaches through the electric system. Introdu...

In this paper, Genetic Algorithm is used to solve the profit based unit commitment for deregulated power system in order to achieve optimal generation schedule and maximum profit of GENCOS. Deregulation of power system means unbundling of vertically integrated power system into generation, transmission and distribution companies. This proposed algorithm or approach is tested on IEEE-30 bus syst...

Deregulation of power system industry is a very large complex exercise based on respective national energy strategies and policies. A lot of matters and knowledge need to be studied before the idea of deregulation can be implemented. Theoretically, it is said that deregulation can make a large impact to increase efficiency and encourage the competitiveness among related parties. However, to imp...

Currently, the electric power industry is in transition from vertically integrated utilities to an industry that will incorporate competitive companies. This increases the complexity of the load frequency issue and calls for more insight and research. In this context, the tuning of a two-area AGC system after deregulation is not yet discussed and is studied in this work. The effect of bilateral...

the infrastructure of the electricity grid and super grid system in the hitherto industrialized world was to a large extent built up in the decades following world war ii with a peak in investments around 1960-1980. this means that the flotilla of power transformers is now starting to reach projected lifetime of around 40 years. during the last couple of decades there has also been an ongoing d...
