DISCLAIMER

The Editors are not endorsing evolution as a scientific fact, in that species evolve from one kind to another. The term “evolutionary” in the evolutionary computation (EC) simply means that the characteristics of an individual changes within the population of the same species, as observed in the nature.

PREFACE

Heuristic search and optimization is a new and modern approach for solving complex problems that overcome many shortcomings of traditional optimization techniques. Heuristic optimization techniques are general‐purpose methods that are very flexible and can be applied to many types of objective functions and constraints. Recently, these new heuristic tools have been combined among themselves, and new methods have emerged that combine elements of nature‐based methods, or which have their foundation in stochastics and simulation methods. Developing solutions with these tools offers two major advantages: development time is much shorter than when using more traditional approaches, and the systems are very robust, being relatively insensitive to noisy and/or missing data/information known as uncertainty.

In competitive electricity market along with automation, heuristic optimization methods are very useful. As electric utilities are trying to provide smart solutions with economical, technical (secure, stable, and good power quality), and environmental goals, there are several challenging issues in the smart grid solutions such as, but not limited to, forecasting of load, price, ancillary services; penetration of new and renewable energy sources; bidding strategies of participants; power system planning and control; operating decisions under missing information; increased distributed generations and demand response in the electric market; tuning of controller parameters in varying operating conditions, etc. Risk management and financial management in the electric sector are concerned with finding an ideal trade‐off between maximizing the expected returns and minimizing the risks associated with these investments.

The objective of this book is to review the state‐of‐the‐art technologies in the modern heuristic optimization techniques and present case studies how these techniques have been applied in these complex power and energy systems problems. Empathies will be given to applications rather than theory and the organization of book will be on application basis rather than tools.

The book is composed of six chapters: Chapter 2 gives an overview of applications of evolutionary computation techniques in power and energy systems, including fundamentals of genetic algorithms, evolutionary programming and strategies, simulated annealing, particle swarm optimization, artificial bee colony search algorithm, and tabu search.

Chapter 3 gives an overview of the applications in power system planning and operation problems, such as unit commitment, economic dispatch, active power multi‐objective optimal dispatch, hydrothermal coordination, maintenance scheduling, load flow, optimal power flow, transmission system expansion planning, and OPF test bed and performance evaluation of modern heuristic optimization techniques.

Chapter 4 gives an overview of the applications in power system and power plant control problems, such as voltage control, load frequency control with optimization and stability, control of FACTS devices, hybrid of analytical and heuristic techniques for FACTS devices, power system automation, power plant control, predictive control in large‐scale power plant, and industrial power plant control.

Chapter 5 gives an overview of the applications in distribution systems, such as active distribution network planning, optimal selection of distribution system architecture, conservation voltage reduction planning, dynamic distribution network expansion planning with demand side management, capacitor placement in distribution systems, network reconfiguration, distribution system restoration, group‐based PSO for system restoration, parameter identification of dynamic equivalents for distribution networks, and parameter estimation for distribution transformers.

Chapter 6 gives an overview of the applications in integration of renewable energy in smart grid, such as renewable energy sources, operation and control of smart grid, compliance of reactive power requirements in wind power plants, photovoltaic controller design, demand side management and demand response, solar power forecasting, load demand and solar generation forecast for PV integrated smart buildings, multi‐objective planning of public electric vehicle charging stations, and dispatch modeling incorporating maneuver components, wind power, and electric vehicles.

Chapter 7 gives an overview of the applications of modern heuristic optimization techniques in electricity markets, such as bidding strategies, market analysis and clearing with market simulator, electricity market forecasting with artificial neural networks and support vector machines, fuzzy optimization (FO), and FO‐based simultaneous bidding of V2G in ancillary service markets.
