In this manuscript, the Power management of grid integrated hybrid distributed generation (DG) system with Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed. The hybrid DG system combines with photovoltaic, wind turbine, fuel cell, battery. Depending on the use of hybrid sources and the changes of power production the variation of power can occurs in the DG system. The major purpose of the proposed method restrains the power flow (PF) on active with reactive power between the source and grid side. In the power system control the proposed PSO method is utilized to maximize the active with reactive PF and the controllers. The proposed method interact the load requirement energy and maintain the load sensitivity due to charging and discharging battery control. In the DG system, the proposed PSO method allows maximum power flow. To assess the PF, the constraints of equality and inequality have been evaluated and they are utilized to determine the accessibility of renewable energy source (RES), electricity demand, and the storage elements of charge level. The protection of the power system is enhanced based on the proposed PSO method. Additionally, for retaining a stable output the renewable power system and battery is used. The proposed method is activated in MATLAB/Simulink working platform and the efficiency is likened with other existing methods.

Application of UPFC for enhancement of voltage profile and minimization of losses using Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI)Transmission line loss minimization in a power system is an important research issue and it can be achieved by means of reactive power compensation. The unscheduled increment of load in a power system has driven the system to experience stressed conditions. This phenomenon has also led to voltage profile depreciation below the acceptable secure limit. The significance and use of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices and capacitor placement is in order to alleviate the voltage profile decay problem. The optimal value of compensating devices requires proper optimization technique, able to search the optimal solution with less computational burden. This paper presents a technique to provide simultaneous or individual controls of basic system parameter like transmission voltage, impedance and phase angle, thereby controlling the transmitted power using Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) based on Bacterial Foraging (BF) algorithm. Voltage stability level of the system is defined on the Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) of the lines. The IEEE 14-bus system is used as the test system to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed system. The test result showed that the location of UPFC improves the voltage profile and also minimize the real power loss.

The power loss in electrical power systems is an important issue. Many techniques are used to reduce active power losses in a power system where the controlling of reactive power is one of the methods for decreasing the losses in any power system. In this paper, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm using eagle strategy (ESPSO) is proposed for solving reactive power optimization problem to minimize the power losses. All simulations and numerical analysis have been performed on IEEE 30-bus power system, IEEE 118-bus power system, and a real power distribution subsystem. Moreover, the proposed method is tested on some benchmark functions. Results obtained in this study are compared with commonly used algorithms: particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, genetic algorithm (GA), artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, firefly algorithm (FA), differential evolution (DE), and hybrid genetic algorithm with particle swarm optimization (hGAPSO). Results obtained in all simulations and analysis show that the proposed method is superior and more effective compared to the other methods.
