Load flow and optimal power flow analysis using evolutionary computational techniques

Abstract

The most important concern in todays life is to meet the increased newlinedemand for electricity with effective utilization of existing networks and the newlinevoltage profile of the buses of systems is to be kept within the prescribed newlinelimit The power system problems are classified into planning operation and newlinecontrol security and stability problems The load flow and optimal load flow newlineproblem play a very important role in the power system operation and newlineplanning under deregulated environment of the electricity industry Load flow newlineanalysis is the solution of an electric power transmission system under the newlinesteady state operating condition and is the first step for the solution of a newlinenumber of power system problems Optimal power flow is widely used for the newlinepurposes of economical and secured operation and planning of power newlinesystems newline newline
