Automation in Collaborative Control over Sharing of Electric Power between Nations Using Genetic Algorithm Based Expert System

Abstract

The generation of power is not uniformly distributed allover the globe. The electric power is required to be shared between Nations with and without natural resources to generate power. This however needs collaborative control. It is necessary that the power demand of the sharing Nations should not cause generators to produce power beyond their capacity and also to maintain supply of power within capacity. The paper therefore presents an expert system which fulfills the objective and provides collaborative control over sharing of power, leading to economic and industrial growth of both the countries. Control of power flow through Tie-line has been exercised to meet the objective. The expert system serves to provide rule based control of sharing of powers. It follows an algorithm based control. The control is exercised through regular monitoring of power being supplied from power producing state to non power producing state. It is also being decided by the operational cost of the power generation on the other hand. Efforts have been made to keep this cost minimum using Genetic Algorithm which serves to yield the optimal cost of operation. The proposed model has been tested for real time conditions and is found to have given satisfactory practical results.
