Description
Summary:Efficient optimization algorithms are developed to solve
constrained power economic dispatch problems. A simple two-
stage optimization algorithm is proposed and investigated for
fast computation of constrained power economic dispatch con
trol problems. The method is a simple demonstration of the
hierarchical aggregation/disaggregation(HAD) concept. The
HAD concept utilizes the network hierarchy to speed up the
computation. The algorithm first solves an aggregated
problem to obtain an initial solution. This aggregated
problem turns out to be the classical economic dispatch
formulation, and it can be solved in 1% of overall
computation time. In the second stage, linear programming is
used to find the optimal solution which satisfies power
balance constraints, generation and transmission inequality
constraints and security constraints. Implementation of the
algorithm for the IEEE systems and the EPRI Scenario systems
shows that the two stage method achieves an average speedup
ratio of 10.64 over the classical LP-based method. For real
time OPF of larger power system, a partially decoupled
hierarchical aggregation/disaggregation (HAD) OPF algorithm
has been evolved from our simple two-stage OPF algorithm.
The effects of the new partially decoupled real power OPF are
investigated, and the intuition that the approach is accurate
is explained by using a simple example. The partially
decoupled OPF approach developed here can be very efficient
for real time OPF of larger power systems under normal
operating conditions. In the first stage, we solve the
aggregated problem as the economic dispatch problem. The
second stage solves a classical economic dispatch problem
involving the transmission losses, in which the decoupled
transposed Jacobian method calculates the penalty factors and
incremental transmission losses. At the third stage, the
transmission capacity and the other violations are checked
and corrected. A partially decoupled real power LP method,
in which a coupled load flow is used, refines the third stage
solution iteratively involving all detailed constraints.
Test results show that the partially decoupled HAD OPF method
has acceptable accuracy, and efficiently speeds up the
computation process. A distributed textured algorithm has
been extended from the parallel textured algorithm for the
constrained economic dispatch control problem of large power
systems. In this document, we developed the distributed
communication models, discussed their impacts on algorithm
analysis, and then provided some examples to illustrate the
convergence properties of distributed textured algorithms.
