Estimation of magnitude and time duration of temporary overvoltages using ANN in transmission lines during power system restoration

摘要

In most countries, the main step in the process of power system restoration, following a complete/partial blackout, is energization of primary restorative transmission lines. Artificial neural network (ANN) is employed for performing a nonlinear input-output mapping in this work, in order to estimate the temporary overvoltages (TOVs) due to transmission lines energization. In the proposed methodology, Levenberg-Marquardt second order method is used to train the multilayer perceptron. Proposed ANN is trained with equivalent circuit parameters of the network as input parameters, trained ANN has therefore satisfactory generalization capability. Both single and three-phase line energizations are analyzed. The simulated results for 39-bus New England test system, indicate that the proposed technique can estimate the peak values and duration of switching overvoltages with acceptable accuracy.
