PSO Based Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch for the Enrichment of Power System Performance

This paper proposes an Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). ORPD, which is a section of optimal power flow, is considered as an essential optimization enigma in the sector of electrical engineering. With the help of ORPD, the operators have control over the voltage limits to retrench the true power losses in transmission lines. Formulation of ORPD is performed by considering the output voltages of generators, tap changing transformers and switchable capacitor devices. PSO is a well familiar population centered optimization system. This procedure is well-designed to the IEEE14 and 30 bus systems by considering reduction of true power loss. This scheme performance is improved with PSO, and the losses are comparatively low with traditional methods.
