Double Branch Outage Modeling and Its Solution Using Differential Evolution Method
(2011) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Ozdemir, Aydogan; Dağ, Hasan
Power system operators need to check the system security by contingency analysis which requires power flow solutions repeatedly. AC power flow is computationally slow even for a moderately sized system. Thus fast and accurate outage models and approximated solutions have been developed. This paper adopts a single branch outage model to a double branch outage one. The final constrained optimization problem resulted from modeling is then solved by using differential evolution method. Simulation results for IEEE 30 and 118 bus test systems are presented and compared to those of full AC load flow in terms of solution accuracy. © 2011 IEEE.
Graph Optimized Locality Preserving Projection Via Heuristic Optimization Algorithms
(IEEE, 2019) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Taşkın, Gülşen
Dimensionality reduction has been an active research topic in hyperspectral image analysis due to complexity and non-linearity of the hundreds of the spectral bands. Locality preserving projection (LPP) is a linear extension of the manifold learning and has been very effective in dimensionality reduction compared to linear methods. However, its performance heavily depends on construction of the graph affinity matrix, which has two parameters need to be optimized: k-nearest neighbor parameter and heat kernel parameter. These two parameters might be optimally chosen simply based on a grid search when using only one representative kernel parameter for all the features, but this solution is not feasible when considering a generalized heat kernel in construction the affinity matrix. In this paper, we propose to use heuristic methods, including harmony search (HS) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), in exploring the effects of the heat kernel parameters on embedding quality in terms of classification accuracy. The preliminary results obtained with the experiments on the hyperspectral images showed that HS performs better than PSO, and the heat kernel with multiple parameters achieves better performance than the isotropic kernel with single parameter.

Comparative Study of Active Power Curtailment Methods of Pvs for Preventing Overvoltage on Distribution Feeders
(IEEE, 2018) Paudyal, Sumit; Bhattarai, Bishnu P.; Tonkoski, Reinaldo; Dahal, Sudarshan; Ceylan, Oğuzhan
Overvoltage is one of the major issues on distribution grids with high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) generation. Overvoltage could be prevented through the control of active/reactive power of PVs. However given the high R/X ratio of low voltage feeders voltage control by using reactive power would not be as effective as using active power. Therefore active power curtailment (APC) of PVs though not desirable becomes necessary at times to prevent the overvoltage issues. Existing literature is rich in centralized and droop-based methods for APC and/or reactive power control of PVs to prevent overvoltage issues. In this context this paper revisits the most popular existing methods and evaluates the performance of droop-based and centralized methods using a typical North American 240 V low voltage feeder with 24 residential homes. In this work our key findings are: a) droop-based methods provided conservative solutions or did not eliminate the overvoltages completely b) power flow sensitivity based droop approach led to 13% more curtailment than the centralized approaches c) centralized approach had 40% less energy curtailed compared with standard droop while no overvoltages were observed and d) operating PVs at non-unity power factor in centralized approach led to 5% less energy curtailment.

Grey Wolf Optimizer for Allocation and Sizing of Distributed Renewable Generation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Ahmadi, Bahman; Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Özdemir, Aydoğan
Increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) have brought operational and control philosophy changes in Smart Grids (SGs). Renewable energy based technologies are becoming more important due to their economic and environmental impacts. Distributed generations (DGs) in the form of small renewable energy resources such as solar photovoltaics (PVs) and Wind Turbines (WTs) are connected in radial distribution networks near to the loads. This paper presents optimal siting and sizing of distributed renewable energy resource to maintain voltage magnitude profiles. Bus voltage magnitude differences for each hour in a day of a distribution system are formulated as an objective function. Three consecutive days are taken into account representing the three seasons of a year. A new nature inspired algorithm Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) is used as a solution tool. The proposed formulation is applied to 33 bus and 69 bus radial distribution networks. MATLAB simulations are performed to validate the performance of the approach. Simulation results are discussed and compared with of the several available ones'.

Double Branch Outage Modeling and Simulation: Bounded Network Approach
(Elsevier Science, 2015) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Özdemir, Aydoğan; Dağ, Hasan
Energy management system operators perform regular outage simulations in order to ensure secure operation of power systems. AC power flow based outage simulations are not preferred because of insufficient computational speed. Hence several outage models and computational methods providing acceptable accuracy have been developed. On the other hand double branch outages are critical rare events which can result in cascading outages and system collapse. This paper presents a double branch outage model and formulation of the phenomena as a constrained optimization problem. Optimization problem is then solved by using differential evolution method and particle swarm optimization algorithm. The proposed algorithm is applied to IEEE test systems. Computational accuracies of differential evolution based solutions and particle swarm optimization based solutions are discussed for IEEE 30 Bus Test System and IEEE 118 Bus Test System applications. IEEE 14 Bus Test System IEEE 30 Bus Test System IEEE 57 Bus Test System IEEE 118 Bus Test System and IEEE 300 Bus Test System simulation results are compared to AC load flows in terms of computational speed. Finally the performance of the proposed method is analyzed for different outage configurations. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Towards Faster Branch Outage Simulations Using Simulated Annealing and Parallel Programming
(IEEE, 2009) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Özdemir, Aydoğan; Dağ, Hasan
Contingency studies such as branch outage and generator outage are among important studies of energy management centers operations. Branch outage modeling on the other hand is one of the basic steps of post-outage state estimation of an electrical power system. Real time implementation of the problem brings the necessity of using high speed methods while providing a reasonable accuracy. This paper presents simulated annealing based solution of the branch outage event which is formulated as a local optimization problem. To speed up the solution procedure the distributed computing toolbox of Matlab is used as a parallel programming tool. The results of the proposed method are compared to those of full AC method and are discussed both from the point of accuracy and solution speed.

A Novel Approach for Voltage Control in Electrical Power Distribution Systems
(IEEE, 2018) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Dimitrovski, Aleksandar; Starke, Michael; Tomsovic, Kevin
This paper proposes a novel approach for voltage control in 3-phase unbalanced distribution systems. The approach is based on the change of the magnetizing reactances of the voltage regulators in the system. We used an augmented Lagrangian-based optimization model to determine the optimal settings on a modified IEEE 123 Bus Test System with large PV penetration. Simulations were performed on a minute-based resolution either by controlling regulators or by controlling the magnetizing reactances of the regulators only. The simulation results presented and their comparison show that the control of the magnetizing reactances of the regulators may improve the voltage profile and may be an addition or alternative to both traditional voltage control devices such as capacitors tap changers and newer devices such as smart inverters.

Comparison of Post Outage Bus Voltage Magnitudes Estimated by Harmony Search and Differential Evolution Methods
(2009) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Özdemir, Aydoğan; Dağ, Hasan
Contingency studies are indispensable tools of both the power system planning and operational studies. Real time implementation of operational problems makes necessary the use of high speed computational methods while requiring reasonable accuracies. On the other hand, accuracy of the results and the speed of calculation depend on branch outage modeling as well as solution algorithm used. This paper presents a comparison of post outage bus voltage magnitudes calculated by two meta-heuristic approaches; namely differential evolution (DE) and harmony search (HS) methods. The methods are tested on IEEE 14, IEEE 30, IEEE 57, and IEEE 118 bus test systems and the results are compared both in terms of accuracy and calculation speed.

Assessment of Harmonic Distortion on Distribution Feeders With Electric Vehicles and Residential Pvs
(IEEE, 2017) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Paudyal, Sumit; Dahal, Sudarshan; Karki, Nava R.
Power-electronic interfacing based devices such as photovoltaic (PV) panels and electric vehicles (EVs) cause voltage/current harmonic distortions on the power grid. The harmonic current profiles from EVs and PVs depend on the design of the controllers integrated to the PV inverters and EV chargers. Similarly the voltage and current harmonic distortions on a grid change throughout the day as the PV output power number of grid connected EVs and the other load pattern change. In this context we present harmonic assessment to demonstrate cumulative effect of large number of EVs and PVs on a medium voltage distribution grid. We will demonstrate the case studies on the IEEE 123-node distribution feeder with 20% 50% and 100% PV and EV penetrations based on time series simulations carried out for an entire day.

(2008) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Ozdemir, Aydogan; Dağ, Hasan
For post outage MW line flows and voltage magnitude calculations most of the methods use linear methods because of their simplicity. Especially for reactive power flow calculations one can face high errors. In this paper we use a minimization method that minimizes the errors resulting from the linear system model implementation. We solve the optimization problem using particle swarm optimization. We give some outage examples using IEEE 14 bus IEEE 30 bus and IEEE 57 bus data and compare the results with full ac load flow calculation. © 2008 Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference (AUPEC'08).

Multi-Verse Optimization Algorithm- and Salp Swarm Optimization Algorithm-Based Optimization of Multilevel Inverters
(Springer, 2020) Ceylan, Oğuzhan
Renewable energy sources are installed into both distribution and transmission grids more and more with the introduction of smart grid concept. Hence, efficient usage of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters (MLIs) for power control applications becomes vital for sustainable electricity. Conventionally, selective harmonic elimination equations need to be solved for obtaining optimum switching angles of MLIs. The objective of this study is to obtain switching angles for MLIs to minimize total harmonic distortion. This study contributes to the solution of this problem by utilizing two recently developed intelligent optimization algorithms: multi-verse optimization algorithm and salp swarm algorithm. Moreover, well-known particle swarm optimization is utilized for MLI optimization problem. Seven-level, 11-level and 15-level MLIs are used to minimize total harmonic distortions. Simulation results with different modulation indexes for seven-, 11- and 15-level MLIs are calculated and compared in terms of the accuracy and solution quality. Numerical calculations are verified by using MATLAB/Simulink-based models.

Heuristic Methods for Postoutage Voltage Magnitude Calculations
(TUBITAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2016) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Özdemir, Aydogan; Dağ, Hasan
Power systems play a significant role in every aspect of our daily lives. Hence their continuation without any interruption (or with the least duration of interruption due to faults or scheduled maintenances) is one of the key aims of electrical energy providers. As a result electrical energy providers need to check in great detail the integrity of their power systems by performing regular contingency studies of the equipment involved. Among others line and transformer outage simulations constitute an integral part of an electrical management system. Both accuracy and calculation speed depend on the branch outage model and/or the solution algorithms applied. In this paper the local constrained optimization problem of the single-branch outage problem is solved by intelligent methods: particle swarm optimization differential evolution and harmony search. Simulations of IEEE 14- 30- 118- and 300 -bus systems are computed both by intelligent methods and by AC load flow. The results of the intelligent method -based simulations and AC load flow -based simulations are compared in terms of accuracy and computation speed.

Harmony Search Algorithm Based Management of Distributed Energy Resources and Storage Systems in Microgrids
(MDPI, 2020) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Sezgin, Mustafa Erdem; Goel, Murat; Verga, Maurizio; Lazzari, Riccardo; Kwaye, Marcel Pendieu; Sandroni, Carlo
Microgrids are composed of distributed energy resources (DERs), storage devices, electric vehicles, flexible loads and so on. They may either operate connected to the main electricity grid (on-grid operation) or separated from the grid (islanded operation). The outputs of the renewable energy sources may fluctuate and thus can cause deviations in the voltage magnitudes especially at islanded mode. This may affect the stability of the microgrids. This paper proposes an optimization model to efficiently manage controllable devices in microgrids aiming to minimize the voltage deviations both in on-grid and islanded operation modes. RSE Distributed Energy Resources Test Facility (DER-TF), which is a low voltage microgrid system in Italy, is used to verify the algorithm. The test system's data is taken through an online software system (REDIS) and a harmony search based optimization algorithm is applied to control the device parameters. The experimental results show that the harmony search based optimization approach successfully finds the control parameters, and can help the system to obtain a better voltage profile.

A Comparative Study of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Wave Energy Converter Power Take-Off Optimisation: A Case Study for Eastern Australia
(MDPI, 2021) Amini, Erfan; Golbaz, Danial; Asadi, Rojin; Nasiri, Mandieh; Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Nezhad, Meysam Majidi; Neshat, Mehdi
One of the most encouraging sorts of renewable energy is ocean wave energy. In spite of a large number of investigations in this field during the last decade, wave energy technologies are recognised as neither mature nor broadly commercialised compared to other renewable energy technologies. In this paper, we develop and optimise Power Take-off (PTO) configurations of a well-known wave energy converter (WEC) called a point absorber. This WEC is a fully submerged buoy with three tethers, which was proposed and developed by Carnegie Clean Energy Company in Australia. Optimising the WEC's PTO parameters is a challenging engineering problem due to the high dimensionality and complexity of the search space. This research compares the performance of five state-of-the-art metaheuristics (including Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy, Gray Wolf optimiser, Harris Hawks optimisation, and Grasshopper Optimisation Algorithm) based on the real wave scenario in Sydney sea state. The experimental achievements show that the Multiverse optimisation (MVO) algorithm performs better than the other metaheuristics applied in this work.

A Comparative Study of Surrogate Based Learning Methods in Solving Power Flow Problem
(IEEE, 2020) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Taşkın, Gülsen; Paudyal, Sumit
Due to increasing volume of measurements in smart grids, surrogate based learning approaches for modeling the power grids are becoming popular. This paper uses regression based models to find the unknown state variables on power systems. Generally, to determine these states, nonlinear systems of power flow equations are solved iteratively. This study considers that the power flow problem can be modeled as an data driven type of a model. Then, the state variables, i.e., voltage magnitudes and phase angles are obtained using machine learning based approaches, namely, Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and Support Vector Regression (SVR). Several simulations are performed on the IEEE 14 and 30-Bus test systems to validate surrogate based learning based models. Moreover, input data was modified with noise to simulate measurement errors. Numerical results showed that all three models can find state variables reasonably well even with measurement noise.
