1Reliability
If traditional least square method is used for parameter identification, then the method is simple to implement, but it cannot effectively address the non-linear dynamics and high sensitivity of complex power systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the parameter identification problem into an optimization problem by changing the approach from direct calculation (least square) to iterative optimization (PSO). The algorithm dynamically adjusts parameters to minimize the error between measured and simulated responses, achieving higher accuracy for non-linear systems through parameter evolution rather than direct computation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical least square calculation method with a bio-inspired particle swarm optimization system. Instead of using deterministic mathematical operations, the system employs stochastic search mechanisms that simulate social behavior, allowing it to navigate complex non-linear parameter spaces more effectively.
2Measurement precision
If modified particle swarm optimization is used to dynamically tune parameters, then the accuracy of parameter estimation is improved, but the computational complexity and time required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic parameter tuning where the PSO algorithm continuously adapts particle positions and velocities based on real-time error feedback. The system dynamically adjusts optimization parameters and converges iteratively toward optimal values, enabling precise tuning while managing computational time through adaptive convergence criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the error between measured and simulated responses is continuously calculated and fed back into the PSO algorithm. This feedback drives the optimization process, allowing the system to converge to accurate parameter values while monitoring computational progress to balance precision and time requirements.
3Reliability
If dynamic parameter tuning is performed to match field-measured responses, then the model accuracy is improved, but the complexity of the optimization problem increases due to multiple inputs/outputs and constraints
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a universal PSO framework that can handle multiple inputs, multiple outputs, and various constraint types simultaneously. The algorithm is designed to work with complex multi-objective optimization problems by integrating all constraints and objectives into a unified error minimization function, making it applicable to diverse power system models without requiring problem-specific modifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the particle swarm optimization algorithm as an intermediary that mediates between the complex constrained optimization problem and the solution space. The PSO transforms the complex multi-constraint problem into a series of simpler iterative adjustments, where particles navigate the constraint boundaries and converge toward feasible optimal solutions.
