  • FINANCIAL-BASED ASSESSMENT IN PRACTICAL EPDS USING REACTIVE POWER SUPPORT CONSIDERING DIFFERENT LOAD VARIATIONS
    R. Senthil Kumar, Srinivasan G., Rajan V. R., Lavanya M.
    Jurnal Teknologi, 2025
    It has been substantiated that Reactive Power Injections (RPI) at optimal locations reduce power losses (PLS & QLS) and enrichment in node voltage profile, thereby enhancing efficacy. Most researchers considered the reduction in real power loss (PLS) and capacitor purchase costs as objectives to get Financial Savings (FS). However, this work focuses on maximizing FS by optimal allocation and capacity determination of capacitors in Electric Power Distribution Systems (EPDS), considering the reduction in power losses and capacitor purchase and its associated costs as objective subject to satisfaction of equality and inequality constraints. Cheetah Optimizer (CO) has been considered to solve the Financial Based Objective Function (FBOF) to obtain an improved solution in this work. Researchers normally adopt a Sensitivity Based Index (SBI) to identify potential node RPIs by ranking. Nevertheless, the CO technique will do both optimal placement and sizing of capacitors. The efficacy of the projected CO has been validated using three real EPDS. The outcomes of CO have been compared with other optimization techniques available in the literature. Simulated results reveal that CO effectively minimizes power losses with considerable improvement in FS compared to other techniques.
  • LOAD VARIATIONS BASED OPTIMAL REACTIVE POWER SUPPORT FOR HIGH ECONOMIC GAIN IN DISTRIBUTION ELECTRIC POWER NETWORK
    R. Senthil Kumar, G. Srinivasan, Rajan. V.R., Lavanya M.
    Asean Engineering Journal, 2025
    Problems such as high impedance, below normal bus voltages, and Load density of the Distribution Electric Power Network (DEPN) lead to a rise in power losses (real and reactive power losses) with large deviations in node voltage profile. For DEPN planning and operation studies, the power and voltage deviation have been significantly apprehensive. For the past five decades, several researchers have been focusing on DEPN to reduce Power losses to the minimum level. Sitting and sizing of Shunt Capacitor Banks (SSSCB) optimally in the DEPN is of greatest importance in reducing the power losses, power factor improvement, and voltage profile upgradation thereby more Economic Gain (EG). The target of this study is to enhance the performance of the DEPN using Reactive Power Support (RPS) under three different load levels to minimize the capacitor investment cost and maximize the difference in kWh and kVARh using the Sea-Horse Optimizer Algorithm (SHOA). The proposed algorithm has been witnessed with the help of two general test systems (PG&E 69 bus and Indian 118 bus) and one real DEPN (28 bus system, PEA, Thailand). The overall % power loss reduction ranging between 29% and 37% has been observed across the three load variations for all the three test systems. Simulation results reveal that significant improvements in technical and EG are fulfilled which confirms the prospective of the proposed RPS procedure.

    This study describes the optimization of Distribution Network Structure (DNS) by altering sectionalizing and tie-switches with Reactive Power Injections (RPI) through optimal nodes under three load variations considering five different cases in Electric Distribution Networks (EDNs) to reduce Energy Loss (ELoss), thereby achieving Economic Benefit (EB), which is the first step process. This approach yields EBs only to some extent. To achieve a greater reduction in ELoss, enhancing bus voltage profile and to achieve additional EBs, this study examines the incorporation of Renewable Energy Generations (IREGs) into the optimal EDNs with reactive power support. The optimal energy has been purchased from the Independent Power Producers (IPPs). Besides, the Levy Flight Mechanism (LFM) integrated Seagull Optimization Algorithm (SOA) has been applied to solve the Economic Based Objective Function. The effectiveness of the developed methodology has been validated using IEEE 33-bus and a real 74-bus Myanmar EDN. The reductions in ELoss achieved by LFM-SOA have been compared with those of other existing methods in the literature for all the cases. The results reveals that the developed methodology efficiently achieves more EBs ($) for all the cases by optimizing DNSA with and without RPIs and IREGs.
  • Solving Financial Benefit-Based Reactive Power Support in DN Via DO

  • Integration of EGs in capacitor added optimal DPS for FG maximization
    V. Shanmugasundaram, G. Srinivasan, K. Krishnamoorthi, K. Karthik
    Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2024
    High energy loss and lower Node Voltage Profile (NVP) are the two main issues that have to be addressed by the researchers for the past three decades since it involves economic loss for the Distribution Companies. The above two issues can be mitigated by well-renowned techniques such as the Alteration of Topological Structure (ATS) of Distribution Power Systems (DPS), Reactive Power Support (RPS) and integration of Embedded Generations (EGs). This work focuses on separate and combined operation of ATS and RPS under five different scenarios considering three load levels. Additionally, to achieve maximum E Loss reduction with Financial Gains (FG) and NVP enhancement, this study adopts allocation of EGs after combined operation of RPS and ATS considering the same three load levels thereby further improvement in efficacy. Moreover, a fast and novel optimization algorithm called Improved (using levy flight) Spotted Hyena Optimizer (ISHO) has been proposed in this work to solve the cost-based objective function. The efficacy of the designed methodology has been validated using 62-node and PG&E 69-node radial DPS. Using combined operation of ATS and RPS, around 48 % and 66 % of E Loss reduction has been witnessed for 62-node and PG&E 69-node DPS respectively. More than $90 K has been yielded as FG for both the DPSs. Integration of EGs reduces the E Loss further by around 29 %. Maximum FG of $5.1 lakhs and $2.9 lakhs has been obtained by EG integration for 62-node and PG&E 69-bus DPS respectively. The outcome reveals that the performance of the developed methodology effectively achieves more E Loss reduction and FG for all the cases.

  • Siting and Sizing of Capacitors in RPDF Considering Load Variations: A Profit-Based Evaluation
    G. Srinivasan, M. Lavanya, M. Karupasamypandiyan, M. Krishnaparamathma
    2024 IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Techniques in Control Optimization and Signal Processing Incos 2024 Proceedings, 2024
    Minimizing real and reactive power losses in Radial Power Distribution Feeders (RPDF) is crucial due to a sharp increase in load demand and investment point of view. About 7% of total US power generation is lost during transmission and distribution with RPDFs in urban, semi-urban, and rural areas contributing significantly. Integrating shunt capacitors in RPDFs can reduce reactive line current, lowering losses, and enhance bus voltage profiles to achieve financial profit (FP). This paper proposes a Dandelion Optimizer to optimize reactive power support in RPDFs. No sensitivity-based indices have been considered in this work to locate optimal buses for reactive power injection. Simulation has been carried out on renowned IEEE 34-bus RPDF and found that DO outperforms other methods in the literature in terms of minimizing real power loss, bus voltage enhancement, and increased FP.
  • Optimal Reactive Power Injection in Distribution Networks to Maximise Cost Savings via AOA
    Lavanya M
    El Cezeri Journal of Science and Engineering, 2023
    Utilities have been forced to raise the overall efficiency towards a better position in radial distribution systems (DS). The literature has proved that reactive power compensation performs well in minimizing the power loss ( PLoss ) and enhancing the bus voltage profile within the permissible range in radial DSs. This work presents Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA) to resolve the problem efficiently. The merit of this technique is that it can offer a global or near-global optimum for capacitor siting and sizing. The main intention of this study is to obtain annual financial benefit (AFB) using the placement and sizing of capacitors optimally. This can, however, be achieved by minimizing the objective function composed of cost-based PLoss and capacitor investment cost on radial DSs. The proposed technique has been tested on four renowned DS: the Indian 10-bus, modified 12-bus, IEEE 69-bus, and 94-bus Portugal system. The previously published papers are compared with the outcomes of AOA in terms of PLoss reduction and AFB and prove that AOA achieves better performance and more AFB.
