Performance of Various Voltage Stability Indices in a Stochastic Multiobjective Optimal Power Flow Using Mayfly Algorithm

Abstract

The performance of voltage stability indices in the multiobjective optimal power flow of modern power systems is presented in this work. Six indices: the Voltage Collapse Proximity Index (VCPI), Line Voltage Stability Index (LVSI), Line Stability Index (Lmn), Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI), Line Stability Factor (LQP), and Novel Line Stability Index (NLSI) were considered as case studies on a modified IEEE 30-bus consisting of thermal, wind, solar and hybrid wind-hydro generators. A multiobjective evaluation using the multiobjective mayfly algorithm (MOMA) was performed in two operational scenarios: normal and contingency conditions, using the MATLAB–MATPOWER toolbox. Fuzzy Decision-Making technique was used to determine the best compromise solutions for each Pareto front. To evaluate the computational efficiency of the case studies, a preference selection index was used. The results indicate that VCPI and NLSI yielded the best-optimized system performance in minimizing generation costs, transmission loss reduction, and simulation time for normal and contingency conditions. The best-case studies also promoted the most scheduled reactive power generation from renewable energy sources (RES). On average, the VCPI index contributed the highest penetration level from RES (13.40%), while the Lmn index had the lowest. Overall, VCPI and Lmn index provided the best and worst average performance in both operating scenarios, respectively. Also, the MOMA algorithm demonstrated superior performance against the multiobjective harris hawks algorithm (MHHO), multiobjective Jaya algorithm (MOJAYA), multiobjective particle swarm algorithm (MOPSO), and nondominated sorting genetic algorithm III (NSGA-III) algorithms. In all, the proposed approach yields the lowest system cost and loss compared to other methods.

A novel collapse prediction index for voltage stability analysis and contingency ranking in power systems

“…Currently, many studies focus on incorporating the line voltage stability indices (LVSIs) in the traditional optimal power flow problems for multi-objective optimization (MOOP) [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65], and aim to select a high-performance index of LVSIs to improve system stability [60]. Also, [60] concludes that the voltage stability indices have applicability in planning voltage stability improvement for a grid that integrates renewable energy sources (RES).…”

An enhanced turbulent flow of water-based optimization for optimal power flow of power system integrated wind turbine and solar photovoltaic generators

“…Avvari et al 27 used an evolutionary algorithm (EA) for OPF with four conflicting objectives, including minimization of total cost (TC), total emission (TE), active power loss (APL), and voltage magnitude deviation (VMD), using a novel constraint handling strategy for OPF incorporating Wind, PV, and PEVs uncertainty. Kyomugisha et al 28 applied the mayfly algorithm (MA) to show how well the voltage stability indices performed in the MOOPFs of the power systems. A new and effective improved turbulent flow of water-based optimization (ITFWO) to solve OPF in systems with PV and WT units was introduced in 29 .…”
