Types of Equality Constraints

ISSN: 1693-6930 TELKOMNIKA Vol. 10, No. 2, June 2012 : 199 – 210 202 The equation of the total objective function using into account the Economic Power Dispatch ED objective function; active power transmission losses loss P ; and the sum of the normalized violations of voltages Vi F is as follow: ED l loss V V f F P F ω ω = + + 6 where lim max min 1 PQ N V PQj PQj PQj PQj j F V V V V = = − − ∑ l ω and V ω constants are related to line loss and voltage deviation. These constants were found as a result of trials.

2.1.2. Types of Equality Constraints

While minimising the objective function, it is necessary to make sure that the generation still supplies the load demands plus losses in transmission lines. The equality constraints are the power flow equations describing bus injected active and reactive may be defined as follows: 1 cos sin nb i i i i j ij ij ij ij j P Pg Pd V V g b q q = = - = + å 7 1 sin cos nb i i i i j ij ij ij ij j Q Qg Qd V V g b q q = = - = - å 8 where i P g , i Q g are the active and reactive power generation at bus i; i P d , i Q d are the real and reactive power demands at bus i; i V , j V , the voltage magnitude at bus i,j, respectively; ij q is the admittance angle, ij b and ij g are the real and imaginary part of the admittance and nb is the total number of buses. The equality constraints are satisfied by running Newton-Raphson algorithm. 2.1.3. Types of Inequality Constraints The inequality constraints of the OPF reflect the limits on physical devices in the power system as well as the limits created to ensure system security. The most usual types of inequality constraints are upper bus voltage limits at generations and load buses, lower bus voltage limits at load buses, var. limits at generation buses, maximum active power limits corresponding to lower limits at some generators, maximum line loading limits and limits on transformer tap setting. The inequality constraints on the problem variables considered include: 1 upper and lower bounds on the active generations at generator buses Pg i min ≤ Pg i ≤ Pg i max , i= 1, ng, 2 upper and lower bounds on the reactive power generations at generator buses Qg i min ≤ Qg i ≤ Qg i max , i = 1, ng, 3 upper and lower bounds on reactive power injection at buses with VAR compensation Qc i min ≤ Qc i ≤ Qc i max , i=1, nc, 4 Upper and lower bounds on the voltage magnitude at the all buses. V i min ≤ V i ≤ V i max , i=1, nb, 5 upper and lower bounds on the bus voltage phase angles θιµιν≤ θι ≤ θιµαξ , i = 1, nb; and 6 for secure operation, the transmission line loading Sl is restricted by its upper limit as:S li ≤ S li max , i = 1, nl, where S li , S li max are stand for the power of transmission line and limit of transfer capacity of transmission line and nl is the number of transmission lines. The constraints on the state variables can be taken into consideration by adding penalty function to the objective function.
