Abstract– Distribution feeder reconfiguration (DFR) is one of the well-known and effective strategies adopted in distribution network. The goal of DFR problem is to obtain a new topological structure for distribution feeders by rearranging the status of switches such that an optimal configuration would be obtained. The existence of Distributed Generation (DG) can affect the entire power system ...

Damping of low frequency electromechanical oscillations is very important for a safe system operation. The fast acting, of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) which is capable of improving both steady state and dynamic performance permits newer approaches to system stabilization. This paper presents a novel methodology for tuning STATCOM based damping controller in order to enhance the d...

A Hybrid technique of Artificial Neural Network and Honey Bee Mating Optimization (H-ANN-HBMO) is presented in this paper to damp power system oscillation in multi machine environment. By considering this strategy the weights of ANN is optimized to find the optimum work point of controller. The proposed strategy consists of an ANN controller, which is used as a power system stabilizer in power ...

Today using evolutionary programing for solving complex, nonlinear mathematical problems like optimum power flow is commonly in use. These types of problems are naturally nonlinear and the conventional mathematical methods aren’t powerful enough for achieving the desirable results. In this study an Optimum Power Flow problem solved by means of minimization of fuel costs for IEEE 30 buses test s...

In this paper, the optimal location and tuning parameters of Static Var Compensator (SVC), Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) stabilizer with low pass filter and Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) controllers using multi objective Honey Bee Mating Optimization (HBMO) to damp small signal oscillations in a multi machine power system has been implemented. Whereas, the performance ...

The aim of this paper is to investigate a novel approach for output feedback damping controller design ofSTATCOM in order to enhance the damping of power system low frequency oscillations (LFO). The design ofoutput feedback controller is considered as an optimization problem according with the time domain-basedobjective function which is solved by a honey bee mating optimization algorithm (HBMO...
