The optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem plays a key role in daily power system operations. This paper presents a novel multi-period approach for the ORPD that takes into account three operative goals. These consist of minimizing total voltage deviations from set point values of pilot nodes and maneuvers on transformers taps and reactive power compensators. The ORPD is formulated in GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System) software as a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem, comprising both continuous and discrete control variables, and is solved using the BONMIN solver. The most outstanding benefit of the proposed ORPD model is the fact that it allows optimal reactive power control throughout a multi-period horizon, guaranteeing compliance with the programmed active power dispatch. Additionally, the minimization of maneuvers on reactors and capacitor banks contributes to preserving the useful life of these devices. Furthermore, the selection of pilot nodes for voltage control reduces the computational burden and allows the algorithm to provide fast solutions. The results of the IEEE 118 bus test system show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The chapter presents two effective evolutionary methods, namely, artificial bee colony optimization (ABC) and biogeography based optimization (BBO) for solving optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem using flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices. The idea is to allocate two types of FACTS devices such as thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and thyristor-controlled phase shifter (TCPS) in such a manner that the cost of operation is minimized. In this paper, IEEE 30-bus test system with multiple TCSC and TCPS devices is considered for investigations and the results clearly show that the proposed ABC and BBO methods are very competent in solving ORPD problem in comparison with other existing methods.

In this work Chaotic Predator-Prey Brain Storm Optimization (CPS) algorithm is proposed to solve optimal reactive power dispatch problem. Predator–Prey Brain Storm Optimization position cluster centers to execute as predators, accordingly it will progress towards enhanced positions, although the left over thoughts do as preys; consequently they move far from their neighboring predators. In the projected algorithm chaotic theory has been applied to enhance the quality of the exploration.  Ergodicity and indiscretion are utilized in the CPS algorithm, such that projected algorithm will not get trapped in the local optimal solution.  Chaotic predator-prey brain storm optimization (CPS) algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 30 bus test system and results show the projected algorithm reduced the real power loss effectively.

Reactive power optimization is a major concern in the operation and control of power systems. In this paper a new multi-objective differential evolution method is employed to optimize the reactive power dispatch problem. It is the mixed–integer non linear optimization problem with continuous and discrete control variables such as generator terminal voltages, tap position of transformers and reactive power sources. The optimal VAR dispatch problem is developed as a nonlinear constrained multi objective optimization problem where the real power loss and fuel cost are to be minimized at the same time. A conventional weighted sum method is inflicted to provide the decision maker with a example and accomplishable Pareto-optimal set. This method underlines non-dominated solutions and at the same time asserts diversity in the non-dominated solutions. Thus this technique treats the problem as a true multi-objective optimization problem. The performance of the suggested differential evolution approach has been tested on the standard test system IEEE 30-bus.

Reactive Power Dispatch

<span>Evolutionary Programming (EP) is one of many types in Evolutionary Computation (EC) that used for optimization process. EP technique is used to find the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) since it is one of the accessible options schemes that can be used on the system as a reactive power support. Sometimes, it is not necessary to operate all generators in order to perform ORPD to in achieve the objectives. Also, increment of reactive power load to the system will cause voltage decomposes with the increase in transmission loss in the system. Therefore, the proposed method decides the best grouping of generators that should be operated in system by bearing in mind the transmission loss reduction. ORPD will be used to minimize the transmission loss as well the increasing reactive power loading. This method conducted on IEEE 30-bus Test System with multi cases scenario. The best combination of operating generators determined and the transmission loss after optimization is smaller compared to the transmission loss before optimization resulted.</span>
