Application of optimization techniques in the power system control

Abstract

In this paper we introduce some of the power systems' control and operation problems. The management of the modern power system faces mainly optimization tasks. We show some single and multi objective optimization solutions, these are: Decision making; Optimization of the schedule of renewable sources; Energy storage problems; Optimization of the network structure; Definition of the right power mix in single and also multiobjective case, Regional energy trade. A large variety of applied technologies is described. In the industry the fast and robust methods are favored.
