APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS IN VOLTAGE AND REACTIVE POWER CONTROL
Abstract
The aim of this seminar is to introduce a new technique to control the voltage and reactive power in power systems based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Feed-forward ANN with Back Propagation training algorithm is used and the training data is obtained by solving several abnormal conditions such as increase in load, increase in losses etc. using Linear Programming. Considering generator voltages, reactive power sources and transformer taps as control variables, and load bus voltages and generator reactive powers as dependent variables, the relations are derived according to relations based on Newton-Raphson load flow equations. The load increase and system losses are chosen as objective function so that the approach minimizes system losses and enhances voltage profile. This technique is tested by computer simulation on IEEE 6-bus power system and satisfactory results are obtained.
INTRODUCTION
One of the main requirements in power system is to keep the load bus voltage within limits specified for the proper operation of equipment. Any changes to the System configuration or in power demands can result in higher or lower voltages in the system. The operator can improve this situation by reallocating reactive Power generations in the system by
