Modern Optimization Techniques for Smart Grids presents current research and methods for monitoring transmission systems and enhancing distribution system performance using optimization techniques considering the role of different single and multi-objective functions. The authors present in-depth information on integrated systems for smart transmission and distribution, including using smart meters such as phasor measurement units (PMUs), enhancing distribution system performance using the optimal placement of distributed generations (DGs) and/or capacitor banks, and optimal capacitor placement for power loss reduction and voltage profile improvement. The book will be a valuable reference for researchers, students, and engineers working in electrical power engineering and renewable energy systems.
Smart grid (SG) is a type of electrical grid that attempts to predict and intelligently respond to the behavior and actions of all electric power users such as suppliers, consumers, and those that do both to efficiently deliver reliable, economic, and sustainable electricity services. At the heart of the future SG, lie two related challenging optimization problems: monitoring of a power system and enhancement of distribution system performance. SG technologies combine power generation and delivery systems with advanced communication systems to help save energy, reduce energy costs, and improve reliability. A few benefits are connected with the consumption of renewable energy technologies, including quite low or no greenhouse-gas emissions, making them a key segment in any environmental change moderation methodology.
In this book, a multi-stage method is proposed to make the power system complete observability by the optimal placement of phasor measurement units (PMUs) taking into account the minimum availability of PMUs measuring channels. To solve the optimization problem, a two-stage optimal method is introduced with and without considering zero injection buses (ZIBs).
