A master’s thesis at the College of Engineering at the University of Karbala investigated finding a solution to the problem of electrical power path flow in the Iraqi national grid by studying the best power path for the high-voltage national grid using the improved particle swarm algorithm.
The message came with the aim of reducing electrical losses resulting from long-distance transportation from northern to southern Iraq and reducing the production costs of electrical energy in generating stations.
The thesis submitted by researcher Ihsan Nimah Issa included a study of an effective approach using the improved particle swarm algorithm to reduce transmission losses and generation costs in various overload cases. The Control and Control Department of the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity was used to provide the researcher with the technical data required for the national grid to fully complete the objectives of the thesis. Face.
The letter concluded that the procedures used in the Iraqi national electricity network could be adopted in the future if the network is expanded as planned, while it recommended operating the national network at peak times according to the proposed capacity paths during the summer and winter seasons.
