ENHANCING VOLTAGE STABILITY AND LOSS
MINIMIZATION USING ANN AND GA WITH UPFC
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Modern power system networks are being operated under highly
stressed conditions due to continuous increase in power demand. This has
imposed the threat of maintaining the required bus voltage and thus the
systems have been facing voltage instability problem. A system enters a state
of voltage instability when a disturbance, increase in load demand, or change
in system condition causes a progressive and uncontrollable decline in
voltage.
Techniques for voltage stability analysis are P-V Analysis, Q-V
Analysis and Time-Domain Analysis as in (Kundur 1994). FACTS devices
can regulate the active and reactive power control and adaptive to voltage
magnitude control by their fast control characteristics and so reduce flow of
heavily loaded lines and maintain voltages in desired level ( Galiana 1996).
FACTS have made the power systems operation more flexible and secure.
They have the ability to control, in a fast and effective manner and also it is
possible to control the phase angle, the voltage magnitude at chosen buses
and/or line impedances of transmission system as in Hingorani and Gyugyi
(2001) .

UPFC is the most versatile member of FACTS devices family and
can be applied in order to control all the power flow parameters. Power flow
can be controlled and optimized by changing power system parameters using
FACTS devices. So optimal choice and allocation of FACTS devices can
result in suitable utilization of power system. UPFC helps to maintain a bus
voltage at a desired value during load variations. FACTS controllers
enhance the voltage profile and the load ability margin of power systems as in
Sode-Yome et al (2005). The heuristic and intelligent algorithms help to find
the proper places and sizes of FACTS devices as in Gerbex et al (2001). To
maintain the stability of the system, finding the location for fixing the FACTS
controller and also the amount of voltage and angle to be injected is more
important.
The hybrid technique includes
Artificial Neural Network and
Genetic Algorithm.
The proposed hybrid method using MATLAB for different systems
such as IEEE 14, 30, 57 and 118 bus systems has been carried out and the
performance evaluation is presented.
3.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The enhancement of voltage stability of the power system is one of
the most challenging problems in power system. The method of enhancing the
voltage stability and loss minimization using artificial neural network and
Genetic algorithm with UPFC is presented. The load flow analysis is carried
out with Newton-Raphson method using MATLAB software package. The
parameters of UPFC are modelled into power flow equation and thus it is
used to determine the power injection in terms of voltage and power angle.
The ANN is used for identifying the optimal location for fixing UPFC and the
44
Genetic algorithm computes the amount of voltage and angle to be injected.
The total power loss of the system in normal case, sudden increase in load
power case and after connecting UPFC are noted and compared. The total
power loss of the system without UPFC gets increased, whereas for the
system with UPFC, it gets reduced. The results obtained using proposed
method are found to provide minimum real power loss when compared to
Newton-Raphson based load flow method, thus enhancing the voltage
stability of the power system.
The objective function is to minimize the real power losses under
several constraints.
Real Power Losses
The real power loss is calculated using the Equation (3.1):

where, mV is the voltage magnitude,

given by,
PGi-PDi = Pi (3.2)

where,PGi and QGi are generated real and reactive powers at bus i,
respectively. PDi and QDi are real and reactive power loads at bus i,
respectively.

where, Vmin, Vmax are the minimum and maximum limits for the voltage
magnitude.

3.3 POWER FLOW CALCULATION USING NEWTON-
RAPHSON METHOD
In the power system, one of the most important processes is load
flow calculation. There are different methods available for load flow
calculation. Among them the Newton-Raphson method is the most commonly
used. By using Newton-Raphson load flow analysis method, the active and
reactive power flow in all the buses and the corresponding line losses are
calculated. For that, first the bus voltages, angle, active and reactive power,
reactance, inductance values are given as inputs and then power flow in each
46
bus is calculated. The real and reactive power flow in the bus is calculated
using the Equations (3.6) and (3.7) respectively.

where, i is the sending end bus, k is the receiving end bus, N is the total
number of bus, iV & kV are the voltage at i & k bus respectively, ik is the
angle between i & k bus, and ikG & ikB are the conductance and
susceptance values respectively.
Using the above Equations (3.6) and (3.7), the real and reactive
power flow between the buses is computed.
Assigning initial guess in the Newton Raphson method is only to
initialize the dataset to move towards the optimal solution in the search space.
Intelligent based methods require the dataset for training which was obtained
by several methods by incorporating the fundamental features available in the
system. In the proposed methods, ANN based training is used to make the
system viable to understand the bus information at various stages which is
directly coupled to the techniques such as GA, PSO and BA. In this context
the search direction is determined by the concept of evolution, bird flocking
and food foraging by ant. Based on this the movement towards the optimal
solution is determined without the requirement of initial guess. The initial
solution is obtained by the fitness function evaluation by the respective
algorithms.
The overall process takes place in the proposed method as in
Figure 3.1.

3.4 FACTS DEVICES
FACTS devices have the ability to control the phase angle, the
voltage magnitude at chosen buses and line impedances of transmission
system. In order to meet the growing power demand, utilities have an interest
in better utilization of available power system capacities, existing generation
and existing power transmission network, instead of building new
transmission lines and expanding substations. UPFC is the most versatile
among variety FACTS devices which can be used for power flow control,
enhancement of transient stability and voltage regulations. UPFC has been
proved to be an effective means for regulating voltage profile and power flow
in modern power systems.
3.4.1 General Representation of UPFC
A combination of Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM)
and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), which are coupled via a
common DC link, allows bidirectional flow of real power between the series
output terminals of the SSSC and the shunt output terminals of the
STATCOM. They are controlled to provide concurrent real and reactive series
line compensation without an external electric energy source. The UPFC, by
means of angularly unconstrained series voltage injection, is able to control,
concurrently or selectively, the transmission line voltage, impedance and
angle or alternatively, the real and reactive power flow in the line. The UPFC
also provides independently controllable shunt reactive compensation.
Among the available FACTS devices, the UPFC is the most
promising and powerful FACTS device. A major function of the UPFC during
steady state is to redistribute power flow along transmission lines and
transients state. It can be used to improve the damping of low frequency
49
oscillations. To perform these, UPFC needs to be equipped with power flow
controller, a DC voltage controller and a damping controller. The UPFC is the
most versatile and complex power electronic equipment that has emerged for
the control and optimization of power flow in electrical power transmission
systems. Traditional power transmission concepts, the UPFC is able to
control, simultaneously or selectively, all the parameters affecting power flow
in the transmission line. Alternatively, it can independently control both the
real and reactive power flow in the line unlike all other controllers.
Figure 3.2 General representation of UPFC
An UPFC combines a STATCOM and a SSSC as shown in
Figure 3.2. The UPFC is capable of both supplying and absorbing real and
reactive power and it consists of two voltage source converters: series and
shunt converter, which are connected to each other with a common DC link.
One of the two converters is connected in series with the transmission line
through a series transformer and the other in parallel with the line through a
shunt transformer. These two voltage source converters share common
capacitor, which provides DC voltage for the converter operation. The power
balance between the two converters is a prerequisite to maintain a constant
voltage across the dc capacitor. Series converter or SSSC is used to add
50
controlled voltage magnitude and phase angle. It can exchange real power
with the transmission line and thus improves the power flow capability of the
line as well as its transient stability limit. The shunt converter exchanges a
current of controllable magnitude and power factor angle with the power
system.
Applying the forcing function viewpoint of flow control, the
functional capabilities of the UPFC can be put into a different and from the
standpoint of practic al applications, more meaningful perspective. That is, the
inherent two-dimensional control capability (manifested by the independent
magnitude and angle control of the injected compensating voltage) implies
that the UPFC is able to control directly both the real and reactive power flow
in the line. From this view point, the conventional terms of series
compensation and phase shifting become irrelevant: the UPFC simply
controls the magnitude and phase angle of the injected voltage so as to force
the magnitude and angle of the line current, with respect to a selected voltage
(e.g. the receiving end), to such values which establish the desired real and
reactive power flow in the transmission line. The representation of UPFC
model in a transmission line is shown in Figure 3.3.

Here newG and newB represent the combined conductance and susceptance of

The amount of voltage and angle to be injected and the optimal
location for fixing UPFC in the system are identified using the hybrid
52
technique. The next step is identifying the location for fixing UPFC using
ANN.
3.5 ANN TO OBTAIN LOCATION FOR FIXING UPFC
Artificial Neural Network is a mathematical model or
computational model that is inspired by the structure and/or functional aspects
of biological neural networks. In the proposed method, ANN is used to
identify the optimal location for fixing UPFC to maintain the stability of the
system. ANN consists of two stages: training stage and testing stage. In the
training stage, neural network is trained based on the training dataset and in
the testing stage, if the input variable is given, it gives the corresponding
output variables.
3.5.1 Learning ANN to obtain Bi and Bj
In the training stage, ANN consists of three layers, namely input
layer, hidden layer and output layer. In the proposed method, input layer
consists of two variables; hidden layer consists of variables and output layer
consists of two variables. The input variables are the fault occurred bus
number and power error while the output variables are the bus locations
where UPFC is to be connected. By considering this condition, neural
network is trained. For training the neural network, back propagation
algorithm is used. The structure of neural network used in the proposed
method is shown in Figure 3.4.
53

The steps for training the neural network are,
Step 1: Initialize the input weight for each neuron.
Step 2: Apply a training sample to the network. Here, eB and eP are the
input to the network and iB and jB are the output of the network.

Step 3: Adjust the weights of all neurons.
Step 4: Determine the location for fixing UPFC.
3.5.2 Testing ANN to obtain iB and jB
In the testing stage, if the fault bus and power error are given as
input, the neural network gives the output as the location for fixing UPFC in
the system. After connecting the UPFC in the above obtained locations, the
next process is computing the voltage and angle values injected in UPFC.
3.6 GENETIC ALGORITHM
A Genetic algorithm is based on the mechanism of natural
selection. It is a powerful numerical optimization algorithm to reach an
approximate global maximum of a complex multivariable function over a
wide search space. It always produces high quality solution because it is
independent of the choice of initial configuration of population.
Genetic algorithm is initially developed by John Holland,
University of Michigan during 1970’s. It is an iterative procedure, which
maintains a constant size population of candidate solutions. During each
iteration step, genetic operators such as crossover and mutation are performed
to generate new populations and the chromosomes of the new populations are
evaluated via the value of the fitness. Based on these genetic operators and the
evaluations, better new populations of candidate solution are formed. If the
search goal has not been achieved, again GA creates offspring strings through
the operators and the process is continued until the search goal is achieved.
The flow chart of the GA procedure is shown in Figure 4.2.

3.6.1 GA to Compute Vi and Qi
A Genetic algorithm is a search heuristic that mimics the process of
natural evolution. In the proposed method, genetic algorithm is used for
computing the voltage and angle to be injected in the system. GA consists of
5 major stages: 1) Generation of initial chromosomes 2) Fitness evaluation 3)
Crossover 4) Mutation and 5) Termination.
Generation of initial chromosomes
The initial process that takes place in genetic algorithm is the
generation of initial chromosomes. In the proposed method, two
chromosomes are generated. The initial chromosomes are Vn = {V1, V2, ... Vn}
and n = { 1, 2, ... n} ; where, n is the number of genes in the chromosome.
The initial chromosomes are generated between the minimum and maximum
values of the entire chromosome. After generating the initial chromosomes,
the next step is to compute the fitness function.
Fitness function
Fitness function is one of the most important processes in genetic
algorithm, applied to identify the best chromosome. In the proposed method,
the voltage and angle injecting values generated in the above stage are
injected to the system and after injecting the values, the power loss is
computed. This total power loss is considered as the fitness function and the
Equation (3.15) is given by,
N
jiijmmloss BYjViVConjalP
1,**)(*)(Re (3.15)
57
where, mV is the voltage magnitude, ijY is the Y-bus matrix, and B is the base
MVA value. By using Equation (3.15), the total power loss in the system is
computed.
Crossover operation
The crossover operation is performed between two chromosomes to
obtain a new chromosome. The crossover operation is done based on the
crossover rate rC 0.8. Based on this crossover, the genes are selected and a
new child chromosome is generated. After generating a new chromosome, the
fitness function is applied to this new child chromosome. Then mutation
follows the completion of crossover operation.
Mutation operation
The mutation operation is performed based on the mutation
rate rM 0.02. The mutation is done by mutating the genes randomly based on
the given mutation rate. After the completion of mutation operation, the next
step is termination.
Termination
In the termination stage, the best chromosome is selected based on
the fitness function. The above process is repeated until it reaches maximum
number of iterations. After the completion of termination process, the best
voltage and angle injecting values are obtained based on the fitness function.
By fixing the UPFC in the optimal locations identified using the
neural network and then by injecting the voltage and angle values computed
using the proposed method, the system will remain stable.

3.7 SIMULATION RESULTS
The proposed algorithm is applied to IEEE 14, 30, 57 and 118 bus
systems whose data have been given in Appendix 1, 2, 3 and 4. The
simulation studies are done for different scenarios. The first scenario is the
normal operation of conventional NR method. The second scenario is after a
sudden increase power in bus. The third scenario is the one after the UPFC
installed in the proposed method (ANN and GA). The proposed method is
used to place UPFC in the optimal location to enhance the voltage profile and
reduce the power losses of the system. The simulation parameters considered
for the test cases are shown in Table 3.1.

lines. The base MVA considered is 100 MVA. In bus number 5, the optimal
location for connecting UPF using the proposed method is buses 4 and 5. A

Figure 3.6 Voltage profile of IEEE 14 bus system for different scenarios
From Figure 3.6, it appears clear that two different load conditions
are tested: voltage at normal condition and sudden load increase in bus 5. The
voltages obtained after the increase in load and after connecting UPFC using
the proposed method are compared. It is clear that after the sudden increase in
load power, the voltage profile gets decreased while comparing it with normal
load case. After connecting UPFC using the proposed method, the voltage
profile in most of the buses gets enhanced.

From Figure 3.7, it is clear that the real power loss occurred for
normal load condition is 13.593 MW. After sudden increase in the load power
in bus 5, the real power loss is increased to 16.354 MW. Then, using the
proposed method with UPFC, the real power loss gets reduced to 11.859 MW.

of loss reduction compared to GA value mentioned in Bagriyanik et al (2003)
and 5.1 % of loss reduction compared to BF value indicated in Senthilkumar
and Renuga (2010). This shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach
which minimizes the real power loss compared to the other methods.

MVA considered is 100 MVA. In bus number 6, the optimal location for
connecting UPF using the proposed method is buses 6 and 8. A comparison of

Table 3.6 shows the real power loss in the system in normal case,
sudden increase in load power case and after connecting UPFC using
proposed method.
Figure 3.9 Comparison of real power loss of IEEE 30 bus system for
different scenarios
From the Figure 3.9, it is clear that the real power loss occurred for
normal load condition is 17.914 MW. After sudden increase in the load power
in bus 6, the real power loss is increased to 21.565 MW and then by using the
proposed method with UPFC, the real power loss gets reduced to 16.939 MW.

From Table 3.7, it becomes evident that the proposed method
obtains 4.27 % of loss reduction compared to GA value reported in Nikoukar
and Jazaeri (2007), 3.33 % of loss reduction compared to GA value
rmentioned in Kalaivani and Kamaraj (2012) and 1.64 % of loss reduction
compared to GA value indicated in Ajay-D-Vimalraj et al (2008). This shows
the effectiveness of the proposed approach that minimizes the real power loss
compared to the other methods.

Table 3.8 depicts the voltage profile of all the 57 buses for normal
load condition, after sudden increase in power in bus 7 and voltage obtained
UPFC connected in buses 7 and 8.
Figure 3.10 Voltage profile of IEEE 57 bus system for different scenarios
From Figure 3.10, it looks clear that two different load conditions
are tested: voltage at normal condition and sudden load increase in bus 7. The
voltages obtained after the increase in load and after connecting UPFC using
the proposed method are compared. It is clear that after the sudden increase in
load power, the voltage profile gets decreased while comparing it with normal
load case. After connecting UPFC using the proposed method, the voltage
profile in most of the buses gets enhanced.

Table 3.11 shows the voltage profile of all the 118 buses for normal
load condition, after sudden increase in power in bus 7 and the voltage
obtained UPFC connected in buses 15 and 17.
Figure 3.12 Voltage profile of IEEE 118 bus system for different
scenarios
From Figure 3.12, it seens clear that two different load conditions
are tested: voltage at normal condition and sudden load increase in bus 17.
The voltages obtained after the increase in load and after connecting UPFC
using the proposed method are compared. It is clear that after the sudden
increase in load power, the voltage profile gets decreased while comparing it
with normal load case. After connecting UPFC using the proposed method,
the voltage profile in most of the buses gets enhanced.

proposed method.

Figure 3.13 Comparison of real power loss of IEEE 118 bus system for
different scenarios
From Figure 3.13, it is clear that the real power loss occurred for
normal load condition is 146.740 MW. After the sudden increase in the load
power in bus 17, the real power loss is increased to 150.129 MW. Then by
using the proposed method with UPFC, the real power loss gets reduced to
144.588 MW.

the other method
Method Real power loss (MW)
Kalaivani and Kamaraj (2012) GA 147.00
Proposed method ANN with GA 144.588
84
From the table 3.13, it appears clear that the proposed method
obtain 1.64 % of loss reduction compared to GA value reported in Kalaivani
and Kamaraj (2012). This shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach
that minimizes the real power loss compared to the other method.
3.8 SUMMARY
This chapter has demonstrated the following: A hybrid technique is
used to identify the location for fixing UPFC in the system and also to
compute the voltage and angle injecting values for enhancing the voltage
stability of the system. The proposed techniques are implemented in
MATLAB and tested using IEEE 14, 30, 57 and 118 bus systems. The
performances of the proposed techniques are analyzed by increasing the load
power in the system. Due to the sudden increase in load power, the voltage
profile is decreased and also the total power loss in the system gets increased.
By using the suggested procedure, the voltage profile gets enhanced along
with a reduction in power loss compared to the other methods.
