Optimal Reactive Power Management Problem: A Solution Using Evolutionary Algorithms

In a competitive electricity power market, reactive power planning (RPP) is a pivotal matter for the power system researchers from operational and economical view points. RPP is concerned with the installation or removal of reactive power equipment in power system. This article proposes an effective way to find out the optimal parameter settings related to the system active power loss as well as operational cost. Genetic Algorithm (GA)-based...
