Techniques
for power system optimisation are crucial for improving electrical grid
stability, dependability, and efficiency. The complexity of power systems has
been addressed by a variety of approaches brought about by recent developments,
such as machine learning, soft computing, and traditional optimisation
techniques. The main optimisation techniques used in power systems are
described in the sections that follow:
Optimization Techniques in Electrical Power System
Machine
Learning Techniques
· End-to-end optimisation: This method streamlines
procedures by combining machine learning and conventional optimisation.
· ML-Enhanced Optimisation: Makes use of past data to
enhance operational effectiveness and decision-making [1].
· Joint-Driven Optimisation: Provides reliable solutions
by combining machine learning and physical system properties [1].
Soft
Computing Techniques
· Evolutionary Algorithms: To optimise system
parameters, methods such as Genetic Algorithms(GA) and Particle Swarm
Optimisation (PSO) efficiently traverse vast solution spaces [2].
· Neural networks and fuzzy logic: these techniques
improve flexibility and judgement in changing circumstances [2].
Generic Algorithm
Classical
and Hybrid Techniques
· Linear and Nonlinear Programming: Strategies like
gradient-based optimisation and the Simplex approach are essential for
resolving a range of power system issues [3].
· FACTS Device Optimisation: Uses classical,
metaheuristic, and hybrid approaches to get the best configuration while
including mixed integer and nonlinear constraints [4].
Even
though power system performance is much enhanced by these optimisation techniques,
uncertainties and the growing complexity of contemporary power networks still
present difficulties. Subsequent studies could concentrate on creating more
resilient techniques that can adjust to these changing difficulties.
