SUMMARYIn practice, the power producers have to be rescheduled for power generation beyond their power limits to meet vulnerable situations like credible contingency and increase in load conditions. During this process, the ramping cost is incurred if they violate their permissible elastic limits. In this paper, optimal production costs of the power producers are computed with ramping cost considering stepwise and piecewise linear ramp rate limits using fitness distance ratio particle swarm optimization (FDR PSO) algorithm. Transient stability constraints are also considered while formulating the optimal power flow (OPF) problem as additional rotor angle inequality constraints. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated on a practical 39 bus New England and 62 bus Indian Utility system with different case studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
