Abstract

This paper proposes an optimal power flow (OPF) method taking into account small signal stability as additional constraints. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is adopted to realize the OPF process. The method is programmed in MATLAB and implemented to a nine-bus test power system which has large-scale wind power integration. The results show the ability of the proposed method to find optimal (or near-optimal) operating points in different cases. Based on these results, the analysis of the impacts of wind power integration on the system small signal stability has been conducted.
