Power Flow Allocation Method with the Application of Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Least Squares Support Vector Machine

摘要

This paper proposes a new power flow allocation method in pool based power system with the application of hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) and least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM), namely GA-SVM. GA is utilized to find the optimal values of regularization parameter, y and Kernel RBF parameter, σ~2, which are embedded in LS-SVM model so that the power flow allocation problem can be solved by using machine learning adaptation approach. The supervised learning paradigm is used to train the LS-SVM model where the proportional sharing principle (PSP) method is utilized as a teacher. Based on converged load flow and followed by PSP technique for power tracing procedure, the description of inputs and outputs of the training data are created. The GA-SVM model will learn to identify which generators are supplying to which loads. In this paper, the 25-bus equivalent system of southern Malaysia is used to illustrate the proposed method. The comparison result with artificial neural network (ANN) technique is also will be presented.
