Analysis and Application of Optimization Techniques to Power System Security and Electricity MarketsAvalos Munoz, Jose Rafael January 2008 (has links)
Determining the maximum power system loadability, as well as preventing the system from being operated close to the stability limits is very important in power systems planning and operation. The application of optimization techniques to power systems security and electricity markets is a rather relevant research area in power engineering. The study of optimization models to determine critical operating conditions of a power system to obtain secure power dispatches in an electricity market has gained particular attention. This thesis studies and develops optimization models and techniques to detect or avoid voltage instability points in a power system in the context of a competitive electricity market.
A thorough analysis of an optimization model to determine the maximum power loadability points is first presented, demonstrating that a solution of this model corresponds to either Saddle-node Bifurcation (SNB) or Limit-induced Bifurcation (LIB) points of a power flow model. The analysis consists of showing that the transversality conditions that characterize these bifurcations can be derived from the optimality conditions at the solution of the optimization model. The study also includes a numerical comparison between the optimization and a continuation power flow method to show that these techniques converge to the same maximum loading point. It is shown that the optimization method is a very versatile technique to determine the maximum loading point, since it can be readily implemented and solved. Furthermore, this model is very flexible, as it can be reformulated to optimize different system parameters so that the loading margin is maximized.
The Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem with voltage stability (VS) constraints is a highly nonlinear optimization problem which demands robust and efficient solution techniques. Furthermore, the proper formulation of the VS constraints plays a significant role not only from the practical point of view, but also from the market/system perspective. Thus, a novel and practical OPF-based auction model is proposed that includes a VS constraint based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the power flow Jacobian. The newly developed model is tested using realistic systems of up to 1211 buses to demonstrate its practical application. The results show that the proposed model better represents power system security in the OPF and yields better market signals. Furthermore, the corresponding solution technique outperforms previous approaches for the same problem. Other solution techniques for this OPF problem are also investigated. One makes use of a cutting planes (CP) technique to handle the VS constraint using a primal-dual Interior-point Method (IPM) scheme. Another tries to reformulate the OPF and VS constraint as a semidefinite programming (SDP) problem, since SDP has proven to work well for certain power system optimization problems; however, it is demonstrated that this technique cannot be used to solve this particular optimization problem.

Contributions au calcul des variations et au principe du maximum de Pontryagin en calculs time scale et fractionnaire / Contributions to calculus of variations and to Pontryagin maximum principle in time scale calculus and fractional calculusBourdin, Loïc 18 June 2013 (has links)
Cette thèse est une contribution au calcul des variations et à la théorie du contrôle optimal dans les cadres discret, plus généralement time scale, et fractionnaire. Ces deux domaines ont récemment connu un développement considérable dû pour l’un à son application en informatique et pour l’autre à son essor dans des problèmes physiques de diffusion anormale. Que ce soit dans le cadre time scale ou dans le cadre fractionnaire, nos objectifs sont de : a) développer un calcul des variations et étendre quelques résultats classiques (voir plus bas); b) établir un principe du maximum de Pontryagin (PMP en abrégé) pour des problèmes de contrôle optimal. Dans ce but, nous généralisons plusieurs méthodes variationnelles usuelles, allant du simple calcul des variations au principe variationnel d’Ekeland (couplé avec la technique des variations-aiguilles), en passant par l’étude d’invariances variationnelles par des groupes de transformations. Les démonstrations des PMPs nous amènent également à employer des théorèmes de point fixe et à prendre en considération la technique des multiplicateurs de Lagrange ou encore une méthode basée sur un théorème d’inversion locale conique. Ce manuscrit est donc composé de deux parties : la Partie 1 traite de problèmes variationnels posés sur time scale et la Partie 2 est consacrée à leurs pendants fractionnaires. Dans chacune de ces deux parties, nous suivons l’organisation suivante : 1. détermination de l’équation d’Euler-Lagrange caractérisant les points critiques d’une fonctionnelle Lagrangienne ; 2. énoncé d’un théorème de type Noether assurant l’existence d’une constante de mouvement pour les équations d’Euler-Lagrange admettant une symétrie ; 3. énoncé d’un théorème de type Tonelli assurant l’existence d’un minimiseur pour une fonctionnelle Lagrangienne et donc, par la même occasion, d’une solution pour l’équation d’Euler-Lagrange associée (uniquement en Partie 2) ; 4. énoncé d’un PMP (version forte en Partie 1, version faible en Partie 2) donnant une condition nécessaire pour les trajectoires qui sont solutions de problèmes de contrôle optimal généraux non-linéaires ; 5. détermination d’une condition de type Helmholtz caractérisant les équations provenant d’un calcul des variations (uniquement en Partie 1 et uniquement dans les cas purement continu et purement discret). Des théorèmes de type Cauchy-Lipschitz nécessaires à l’étude de problèmes de contrôle optimal sont démontrés en Annexe. / This dissertation deals with the mathematical fields called calculus of variations and optimal control theory. More precisely, we develop some aspects of these two domains in discrete, more generally time scale, and fractional frameworks. Indeed, these two settings have recently experience a significant development due to its applications in computing for the first one and to its emergence in physical contexts of anomalous diffusion for the second one. In both frameworks, our goals are: a) to develop a calculus of variations and extend some classical results (see below); b) to state a Pontryagin maximum principle (denoted in short PMP) for optimal control problems. Towards these purposes, we generalize several classical variational methods, including the Ekeland’s variational principle (combined with needle-like variations) as well as variational invariances via the action of groups of transformations. Furthermore, the investigations for PMPs lead us to use fixed point theorems and to consider the Lagrange multiplier technique and a method based on a conic implicit function theorem. This manuscript is made up of two parts : Part A deals with variational problems on time scale and Part B is devoted to their fractional analogues. In each of these parts, we follow (with minor differences) the following organization: 1. obtaining of an Euler-Lagrange equation characterizing the critical points of a Lagrangian functional; 2. statement of a Noether-type theorem ensuring the existence of a constant of motion for Euler-Lagrange equations admitting a symmetry;3. statement of a Tonelli-type theorem ensuring the existence of a minimizer for a Lagrangian functional and, consequently, of a solution for the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation (only in Part B); 4. statement of a PMP (strong version in Part A and weak version in Part B) giving a necessary condition for the solutions of general nonlinear optimal control problems; 5. obtaining of a Helmholtz condition characterizing the equations deriving from a calculus of variations (only in Part A and only in the purely continuous and purely discrete cases). Some Picard-Lindelöf type theorems necessary for the analysis of optimal control problems are obtained in Appendices.
