An electric power system is a network of electrical components used to supply, transfer, and consume electric power.
The power system is a network which consists generation, distribution and transmission system.
In generation side electricity is produced by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy (electromechanical
conversion systems).
In transmission system side, electricity is generated in bulk in the generating stations and then transmitted over long
distances to the load or demand points. The transmission system interconnects all the generating stations and major
load centres in the system.
The distribution is the final process of power transfer to the individual consumer.
Optimal Power Flow
Optimal power flow (OPF) is fundamental in power system operations as it underlies many applications such as
demand response, state estimation, economic dispatch, stability. Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is a well-studied
optimization problem in power systems. Optimal Power Flow was first proposed by Carpentier. The objective of
Optimal Power Flow is to find a steady state operating point that minimizes the cost of generation of electric
power while satisfying meeting demand and operating constraints.
a) Traditional method.
b) Metaheuristic technique.
a) In traditional method there are five methods namely: Gradient, Newton, Quadratic
programming, Linear programming, interior point.
Load demand, generation dispatch, lines data, transformers data are specified in table 1, 2, 3 and 4.
This work done clearly gives us the minimization fuel cost, minimization of emissions, real power losses, and reduction of voltage deviation
with satisfying operational constraints in power systems.
This study will assist researchers in comparing and selecting an appropriate OPF technique, to find the optimal state of any system under
system constraint
