Abstract

Abstract

Power Networks have two major aspects one is the Safety of the network and the other is its economic, reactive

power is the very important element to serve these two aspects. To avoid unwanted power quality and high

transmission loss we should locate reactive power in reasonable way in power network. Currently, in order to

keep the network voltage in acceptable range and the real power loss as minimum we use dispatch of reactive

power in traditional way.

Since the reactive power has inequality constrains and quality constrains, so we can consider it as a nonlinear

problem. In my thesis, I will use MATPOWER 5.1 toolbox, PSO algorithm and matlab program and applied it to

find the optimum reactive power dispatch allocation. The algorithm PSO is a comprehensive optimization algorithm

that is equipped with the best searching ability. Advantage (major ones) of the PSO is that when the function

of the object is more complex the efficiency of PSO does not effect. Because MATLAB toolbox is a global program

and our work focus on power flow so we will use MATPOWER 5.1 as open source to solve the problem. Since

MATPOWER Toolbox is a power source so when any one use it, it will help him and the code will be very easy. Also

we will use OpenDSS program via MATLAB COM to see PV effect.

Then we will discuss the effect of PV residential penetration via MATLAB simulation using 24 house examples with

PV and without PV penetrations.

Our goal is to minimize power loss in transmission lines and to allocate the reactive power in optimal placement.

IEEE 24 bus system is used to calculate the performance.
