STATCOM Optimal Allocation in Transmission Grids Considering Contingency Analysis in OPF Using BF-PSO Algorithm

R. Kazemzadeh; M. Moazen; R. Ajabi-Farshbaf; M. Vatanpour

Volume 1, Issue 1 , June 2013, Pages 1-11

Abstract
  In this paper, a combinational optimization algorithm is introduced to obtain the best size and location of Static Compensator (STATCOM) in power systems. Its main contribution is considering contingency analysis where lines outages may lead to infeasible solutions especially at peak loads and it commonly ...  Read More

Optimal Distribution System Reconfiguration Using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II)

J. Moshtagh; S. Ghasemi

Volume 1, Issue 1 , June 2013, Pages 12-21

Abstract
  In this paper, a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) based approach is presented for distribution system reconfiguration. In contrast to the conventional GA based methods, the proposed approach does not require weighting factors for conversion of multi-objective function into an equivalent ...  Read More

Active Power Filter Design by a Novel Approach of Multi-Objective Optimization

H. R. Imanijajarmi; A. Mohamed; H. Shareef

Volume 1, Issue 1 , June 2013, Pages 54-62

Abstract
  This paper presents an innovative active power filter design method to simultaneously compensate the current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. The power filter integrates a passive power filter which is a RL low-pass filter placed in series with the load, and an active power filter which ...  Read More

Multi-Stage Fuzzy Load Frequency Control Based on Multi-objective Harmony Search Algorithm in Deregulated Environment

O. Abedinia; N. Amjady; A. Ghasemi; H. Shayeghi

Volume 1, Issue 1 , June 2013, Pages 63-73

Abstract
  A new Multi-Stage Fuzzy (MSF) controller based on Multi-objective Harmony Search Algorithm (MOHSA) is proposed in this paper to solve the Load Frequency Control (LFC) problem of power systems in deregulated environment. LFC problem are caused by load perturbations, which continuously disturb the normal ...  Read More
