Voltage Control and Reactive Power Optimisation using the Meta Heuristics Method: Application in the Western Algerian Transmission System

摘要

This study reported on a meta heuristics method for solving the optimal reactive power flow problem we proposed an application of particle Swarm Optimization Method (PSO), compared to the GA method. The methods incorporate natural ideas to give load flow solution. To demonstrate the global reactive power optimisation of those methods it is applied to the Western Algerian Transmission System 68 bus 220/60 kV. To show the contribution of new techniques, the simulation results are compared with work history using a hybrid approach.
