An Artificial Rabbits’ Optimization to Allocate PVSTATCOM for Ancillary Service Provision in Distribution Systems

Abstract

Attaining highly secure and safe operation of the grid with acceptable voltage levels has become a difficult issue for electricity companies that must adopt remedial actions. The usage of a PV solar farm inverter as a static synchronous compensator (or PVSTATCOM device) throughout the night has recently been proposed as a way to enhance the system performance. In this article, the novel artificial rabbits’ optimization algorithm (AROA) is developed for minimizing both the daily energy losses and the daily voltage profile considering different 24 h loadings. The novel AROA is inspired from the natural surviving strategies of rabbits. The novel AROA is tested on a typical IEEE 33-node distribution network including three scenarios. Different scenarios are implemented considering PV/STATCOM allocations throughout the day. The effectiveness of the proposed AROA is demonstrated in comparison to differential evolution (DE) algorithm and golden search optimization (GSO). The PVSTATCOM is adequately allocated based on the proposed AROA, where the energy losses are greatly reduced with 54.36% and the voltage deviations are greatly improved with 43.29%. Moreover, the proposed AROA provides no violations in all constraints while DE fails to achieve these limits. Therefore, the proposed AROA shows greater dependability than DE and GSO. Moreover, the voltage profiles at all distribution nodes all over the daytime hours are more than the minimum limit of 95%.

An Automatic-Segmentation- and Hyper-Parameter-Optimization-Based Artificial Rabbits Algorithm for Leaf Disease Classification

“…When foraging, rabbits prefer to wander to far regions where other people are, neglecting what is nearby, much like an old Chinese proverb that states [ 40 ]: “A rabbit does not eat grass near its own nest.” This is called detour foraging, and its numerical equation is displayed in Equations (1)–(5), where, rounding to the nearest integer, returns a random permutation of integers, random numbers standard normal distribution …”

Network‐constrained unit commitment‐based virtual power plant model in the day‐ahead market according to energy management strategy

“…According to the research background, a majority of the studies focused on the optimal power flow problem when renewables [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and flexible sources are widely allocated across the power system. Considering the voluminous data acquired from all these units, controlling and managing these power sources becomes complicated and challenging [5].…”

“…Equations ( 19) and ( 20) state the incentive model of the DRP [3]. The power constraint on the DRP can be found in Equation ( 19) and the daily energy of the DRP needs to be zero based on Equation (20). To elaborate, the suggested DRP model can displace the demand during the off-peak period as per the price of electricity in the day-ahead market, as given by Equations ( 19) and ( 20) and the objective function (1).…”

Energy management of distribution network with inverter‐based renewable virtual power plant considering voltage security index

“…This paper presents the utilization of the inverter-based virtual power plant (IBVPP) in smart distribution networks (SDNs) by taking into account some indicators, including VSI and opera-tion goals of the DSO. The VPPs, in the current study, contain RESs [24][25][26][27][28]. Also, flexibility of the VPPs is enhanced using flexible sources (e.g.…”
