EMF Estimation of Over Head Transmission Line Using CS Algorithm with Aid of NFC

Abstract

In this paper, the cuckoo search (CS) algorithm - neuro fuzzy controller (NFC) technique is proposed for estimating the electric and magnetic field (EMF) of over head transmission line (OHTL). In the proposed method, the CS algorithm is used to optimize the conductor spacing (arrangements) and to minimize the EMF. From the optimized arrangement of the conductors, the EMF of the transmission lines is evaluated and formed as the datasets. Then the optimized data set values are applied to the input of the NFC. Subsequently, the coordinates are given to the input of the NFC which predicts their corresponding EMF data. The proposed method is implemented in the MATLAB working platform. For testing the performance of the proposed estimation methods, two overhead transmission line models with 110 kV and 400 kV respectively are considered. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method this is compared with the CS algorithm-ANN controller.
