description

In recent years, interest in the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to electrical power systems has grown rapidly. In particular the use of ANN in the solution of the load-flow problem in wide electrical networks is an interesting research topic, because it constitutes a good alternative to the classical numerical algorithms. In this paper a refined solution strategy based on statistical methods, on a particular Grouping Genetic Algorithm (GGA) and on Progressive Learning Network (PLN) is presented. Tests on the solution of load-flow equations of the standard IEEE 118 bus network confirm the good potential of this approach; in particular the search for optimal values of the PLN’s parameters, with the aim at reducing the number of processing units, reducing further the calculation time, it’s possible to make the procedure presented extremely competitive.
