Abstract

Because they are intermittent and stochastic, Renewable Energy Sources (RES) like wind and solar add a great deal of uncertainty to power systems when integrated. Particularly in large-scale systems like the 220kV IEEE 30-Bus network, these uncertainties make grid stability maintenance challenging. This paper introduces a framework that uses JAYA optimization to reduce the effects of RES uncertainty on grid performance. Power flow, voltage stability, and reactive power support are optimized in variable RES generation situations using the JAYA algorithm, which is renowned for its robust convergence qualities and its simplicity. To keep the system stable, the suggested method makes real-time adjustments to control parameters such reactive power compensators, tap-changing transformers, and generator outputs. When compared to conventional optimization methods, the JAYA algorithm considerably improves voltage profile, decreases power losses, and increases system dependability in simulations run on the IEEE 30-Bus system with high-penetration renewable energy sources added. In view of the increasing impact of renewable energy sources, this study emphasizes the possibility of intelligent metaheuristic algorithms to facilitate robust and stable grid operation. In terms of identifying high-quality, optimally viable solutions, the numerical results demonstrate that the proposed JAYA Optimization outperforms all prior published-results over a range of objective functions with total generation cost reduced values of 747.16 ₹/h according to the data. In addition, the proposed algorithm's superiority then BSA approach.

Keywords: Optimal power flow, Jaya algorithm, Generation cost, Power losses, Voltage stability enhancement, Distributed generation.
