Abstract

Introduction

Transmission system security management under (N−1) line contingency is one of the typical and essential tasks in power system operation and control. This paper examines the impact of the optimal unified power flow controller (OUPFC) and renewable energy sources (RES) on the severity of (n−1) line contingency on transmission system security.

Materials and methods

To test the performance of OUPFC device under single line contingency conditions, an optimal power flow (OPF) based multi-objective function is formulated using real power loss and line collapse proximity indicator (LCPI). Primarily, the optimal location of the OUPFC is determined using LCPI index and then (n−1) contingency analysis is performed by considering OUPFC device at different RES generation levels. Here, the control variables of OUPFC, tap-changers, VAr injections, output power of conventional energy sources (CES), bus voltages and bus angles are optimized with two different variants of the cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) namely (1) dynamically increasing switching parameter in power of three (CSA1) and (2) exponentially increasing switching parameter (CSA2).

Conclusion

The simulation results of various case studies on a standard IEEE-30 bus test system have shown the superiority of CSA2 in solving the multi-objective, non–linear complex optimization problem over CSA1 and time-varying acceleration coefficient-particle swarm optimization (TVAC-PSO). Also, the ability of OUPFC for managing the impact of (n−1) line contingency and variable RES generation is shown in terms of decreased real power loss, improved voltage profile and enhanced security margin.
