The Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) is non-linear problem and is a very effective tool in modern power system for designing a more secure and economic system. It has control variables, which are a combination of continuous and discrete and helps in obtaining the most optimized result satisfying all the equality and inequality constraints. The results obtained not only reduces the real power losses of the system but also helps in restricting the voltage deviation to a much greater extent and thus maintaining the stability of the entire system. In this paper, the ORPD problem is solved as a single objective problem with two different objectives like minimization of real power loss and minimization of voltage deviation. Here, four different variants of PSO are used to solve the problem and the results are compared. The algorithms considered in this paper are tested on IEEE 30 bus and IEEE 57 bus system.

Abstract


The Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) is non-linear problem and is a very effective tool in modern power system for designing a more secure and economic system. It has control variables, which are a combination of continuous and discrete and helps in obtaining the most optimized result satisfying all the equality and inequality constraints. The results obtained not only reduces the real power losses of the system but also helps in restricting the voltage deviation to a much greater extent and thus maintaining the stability of the entire system. In this paper, the ORPD problem is solved as a single objective problem with two different objectives like minimization of real power loss and minimization of voltage deviation. Here, four different variants of PSO are used to solve the problem and the results are compared. The algorithms considered in this paper are tested on IEEE 30 bus and IEEE 57 bus system.
