This paper presents a hybrid optimization methodology based on directing the foraging of E-Coli bacteria to address the problem of voltage collapse (VC) in electric power systems (EPS). The proposed methodology, named Directed Bacterial Foraging Optimization (DBFO) is described, the results are presented and conclusions are drawn.
Load demand levels in power networks are continuing to increase and as a result bus voltages are requiring more support from generators elsewhere in the network in order to maintain the voltage within specified limits. If the network is unable to support the increasing demand, bus voltage will begin to degrade until the point of voltage collapse which can lead to catastrophic network failure. Previous...
