Multi-objective Optimization Methods for Various Power System Problems

Sivkumar Mishra

Abstract

This article discusses numerous features of multi-optimization approaches as applicable to challenges relating to the optimization of power systems, such as optimum power distribution network reconfiguration, optimal distributed generator placement and sizing (allocation), optimal D-STATCOM placement and sizing (allocation), simultaneous network reconfiguration and distributed generator allocation and simultaneous distributed generator and D-STACOM allocation, are discussed. The related objectives considered in these optimization problems are also discussed with respect to the various multi objective formulations such as weighted sum, fuzzy multi objective and pareto multi objective concepts. The various sources of uncertainty and its modeling methods incorporated in the optimization problems are also included in this study.
