New Formulation Technique for Generation Tracing via Evolutionary Programming

摘要

In deregulated power system, the only way to provide fair and non-discriminatory transmission service pricing is by performing electricity tracing. The transaction based allocation, which was quite attractive among transmission service providers, does not take account of physical power flow results, whereas the conventional power tracing techniques which majorly rely on proportional sharing principle and matrix operation are powerless to obtain the tracing results when the matrix to be inversed is singular. In virtue of that, this paper proposed a new formulation of power tracing algorithm via Artificial Intelligence (AI) based optimization approach, namely Evolutionary Programming (EP) with only simple steps and easy implementation. The proposed method is free from any assumptions, matrix operation, and can perform the tracing process based on the actual power flow results. Validation on IEEE 30 bus and 57 bus power system proves the capability of the proposed technique for real system application.
