Application of ANN to real and reactive power allocation scheme

Abstract

This chapter describes the implementation of ANN for real and reactive power transfer allocation. The 25 bus equivalent power system of south Malaysia region and IEEE 118 bus system are used to demonstrate the applicability of the ANN output compared to that of the Modified Nodal Equations (MNE) which is used as trainers for real and reactive power allocation. The basic idea is to use supervised learning paradigm to train the ANN. Then the descriptions of inputs and outputs of the training data for the ANN are easily obtained from the load flow results and each method used as teachers respectively. The proposed ANN based method provides promising results in terms of accuracy and computation time. Artificial intelligence has been proven to be able to solve complex processes in deregulated power system such as loss allocation. So, it can be expected that the developed methodology will further contribute in improving the computation time of transmission usage allocation for deregulated system.
