TL;DR: The proposed symbiotic organism search algorithm is realized for IEEE-14 bus and 30-bus systems and is compared with Evolutionary programming, Differential evolutionary algorithm, dynamic particle swarm optimization, self-adaptive real coded genetic algorithm and modified Gaussian bare bones teaching learning based optimization.
Abstract: This paper introduces a newly developed symbiotic organism search algorithm for deal with ORPD problem. The reactive power optimization problem is essential for suitable operation and regulation in power system network. It helps operators to control the voltage limits, to curtail the real power loss in transmission lines, enhances the strength of the electrical power system to withstand and counteract voltage collapse during load variations in an electrical power system. The symbiotic organism search algorithm is one of the assuring, latest developments in the tract of Meta heuristic algorithms. The texture — animated philosophy of symbiotic organism search algorithm resembles the interactive nature among organisms in feature. Organisms in the real cosmos infrequently live in isolation due to their dependence on other organisms for livelihood and longevity. This ORPD problem is formulated by generator output voltages (continuous variable), regulating transformers and switchable VAR devices (discrete variables). The proposed symbiotic organism search algorithm is realized for IEEE-14 bus and 30-bus systems. The improved result values are compared with Evolutionary programming, Differential evolutionary algorithm, dynamic particle swarm optimization, self-adaptive real coded genetic algorithm and modified Gaussian bare bones teaching learning based optimization.

Abstract: This paper discusses an improved colliding bodies optimization algorithm to pledge competently to realize optimal reactive power dispatch problem. In large scale power system, optimal reactive power dispatch problem is a huge constraint as it deals with large range of non-linear and non-convex global optimization problems involving the composite of continuous & discontinuous control variables. The reactive power dispatch problem is formulated by reactive power supply components like generator output voltages, regulating transformers and reactive power compensating devices. In order to get the optimal values of control variables, a robust optimization algorithm has been tested for reactive power dispatch problem. The prime objectives of reactive power dispatch problems are: to lessen the real power loss in transmission lines, reduce the congestion in transmission lines, to maintain the specified voltage magnitude in all the buses in power system network for both normal & abnormal operating conditions. This is achieved by satisfying the set of specified operational constraints. This algorithm was well-established on single-dimensional collisions intervening bodies, with every operator result being evaluated by substance with mass. Later, the collision of impelling bodies with titled masses & velocities showed that these objects were distinct with new impetus. This collision response prompts the operators to act in almost fine point in the search area. The optimization of the colliding bodies forward simple formations to catch minimum or maximum of functions. The algorithm was applied on standard IEEE — 57 bus system & the outcome solutions are correlated with lately matured algorithms like cuckoo search, particle swarm optimization and gravitational search algorithms.

TL;DR: The proposed ISSO method can be a very effective optimization tool for dealing with the ORPD problem and can find more favorable solutions with higher quality and ISSO can stabilize solution search function with approximately all trial runs finding lower value of fitness.
Abstract: This paper proposes an improved social spider optimization (ISSO) for achieving different objectives of optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD). The proposed ISSO method is developed by applying two modifications on new solution generation process. The proposed method uses only one modified equation for producing the first new solution generation and the second new solution generation while the standard SSO uses two equations for each process. The improvement in the proposed method is confirmed by solving benchmark optimization functions, IEEE 30-bus system and IEEE 118-bus system. Obtained results from ISSO are compared to those from other existing methods available in other studies together with other popular and state-of-the-art methods, which are implemented in the work. As compared to standard SSO for application to ORPD problem, ISSO can reduce the number of computation steps and one control parameter, and shorten simulation time. About the result comparisons with SSO and other remaining methods, ISSO can find more favorable solutions with higher quality and ISSO can stabilize solution search function with approximately all trial runs finding lower value of fitness. Furthermore, the strong search ability of ISSO is also indicated because it uses less value for control parameters. As a result, the proposed ISSO method can be a very effective optimization tool for dealing with the ORPD problem.

Abstract: This paper presents an efficient approach for solving the optimal reactive power dispatch problem. It is a non-linear constrained optimization problem where two distinct objective functions are considered. The proposed approach is based on the hybridization of the particle swarm optimization method and the tabu-search technique. This hybrid approach is used to find control variable settings (i.e., generation bus voltages, transformer taps and shunt capacitor sizes) which minimize transmission active power losses and load bus voltage deviations. To validate the proposed hybrid method, the IEEE 30-bus system is considered for 12 and 19 control variables. The obtained results are compared with those obtained by particle swarm optimization and a tabu-search without hybridization and with other evolutionary algorithms reported in the literature.

Abstract: In this paper, a novel improved Antlion optimization algorithm (IALO) has been proposed for solving three different IEEE power systems of optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem. Such three power systems with a set of constraints in transmission power networks such as voltage limitation of all buses, limitations of tap of all transformers, maximum power transmission limitation of all conductors and limitations of all capacitor banks have given a big challenge for global optimal solution search ability of the proposed method. The proposed IALO method has been developed by modifying new solution generation technique of standard antlion optimization algorithm (ALO). By optimizing three single objective functions of systems with 30, 57 and 118 buses, the proposed method has been demonstrated to be more effective than ALO in terms of the most optimal solution search ability, solution search speed and search stabilization. In addition, the proposed method has also been compared to other existing methods and it has obtained better results than approximately all compared ones. Consequently, the proposed IALO method is deserving of a potential optimization tool for solving ORPD problem and other optimization problems in power system optimization fields.

TL;DR: A new heuristic computing method named as fractional particle swarm optimization gravitational search algorithm (FPSOGSA) is presented by introducing fractional derivative of velocity term in standard optimization mechanism for optimal RPD problems.
Abstract: In fact, optimal RPD is one of the most critical optimization matters related to electrical power stability and operation. The minimization of overall real power losses is obtained by adjusting the power systems control variables, for instance; generator voltage, compensated reactive power and tap changing of the transformer. In this search, a new heuristic computing method named as fractional particle swarm optimization gravitational search algorithm (FPSOGSA) is presented by introducing fractional derivative of velocity term in standard optimization mechanism. The designed FPSOGSA is implemented for the optimal RPD problems with IEEE-30 and IEEE-57 standards by attaining the near finest outcome sets of control variables along with minimization of two fitness objectives; active power transmission line losses ($P_{loss,}$ MW) and voltage deviation ($\text{V}_{\mathrm {D}}$ ). The superior performance of the proposed FPSOGSA is verified for both single and multiple runs through comparative study with state of art counterparts for each scenario of optimal RPD problems.

TL;DR: An intelligent strategy based new metaheuristic named Salp swarm algorithm (SSA) to improve the solution of reactive power dispatch by optimising the total power loss, the total voltage deviation individually and simultaneously considering static VAR compensators (SVCs).
Abstract: Optimal reactive power planning is an important task for experts and industrials to ensure the reliability of modern power systems. Actually, the structure of practical power systems becomes dynamic and characterised by uncertainty in load and non-linear characteristic of various elements of power systems such as constraints associated to thermal units, constraints associated with FACTS devices and renewable sources. This study introduces an intelligent strategy based new metaheuristic named Salp swarm algorithm (SSA) to improve the solution of reactive power dispatch by optimising the total power loss, the total voltage deviation individually and simultaneously considering static VAR compensators (SVCs). To improve the efficiency of the original algorithm in solving large test systems, a sub SSA is formed to optimise the various objective functions based on a grouped control variable. In this study, four grouped swarms named SSA_PG for active power, SSA_VG for voltages, SSA_Ti for Tap transformers, and SSA_SVC for SVCs are formed to operate in a flexible structure to minimise a specified objective function. The proposed intelligent planning strategy validated on the IEEE 30 bus and to the large electrical test system 114 Bus of the Algerian network at normal condition and considering critical situations such as margin loading stability and contingency. Results found using the proposed strategy compared to those cited recently in the literature proves its particularity in terms of solution quality and convergence characteristics.
