Abstract
This paper presents a novel technique to optimise the least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) parameters in predicting the output of Distributed Generation (DG) in a distribution system. In LS-SVM, the accuracy of the prediction is depends on the selection of kernel parameters. Unfortunately, there is no systematic methodology for selection of their optimal values. Therefore, a novel hybrid Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Programming — Least Squares Support Vector Machine (QIEP-SVM) is developed for accurate prediction. In QIEP-SVM, Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Programming (QIEP) is developed to optimise selected parameters for the LS-SVM which are gamma and sigma. QIEP is combining Evolutionary Programming (EP) with quantum mechanics concepts such as interference and superposition in order to enhance classical Evolutionary Programming (EP). The optimal output of DG is first generated using multiobjective Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Programming (QIEP) at various loading condition according to 24-hours load profile. The data from the simulations are then used as the inputs to the Least-Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM). There are three inputs which are active load (MW), reactive load (MVAR) and minimum voltage (p.u). Whereas, there are five outputs that represents the output of DG at five buses. The objective function for the optimisation process is to minimise the mean square error between predicted and targeted output. The performance of QIEP-SVM is then compared to classical LS-SVM using cross-validation technique and hybrid Artificial Neural Network-Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Programming (QIEP-ANN). The results of QIEP-SVM model had shown better prediction performance as compared to classical LS-SVM and QIEP-ANN. All simulations in this study were carried out using IEEE 69-bus distribution test system.
