Solution of Reactive Power Planning Problem Including FACTS Devices by using PSOGSA Algorithm

Abstract

Optimal reactive power planning problem is one of the most important problems of the modern power systems. The main goal of the reactive power planning in modern power systems is to improve voltage profile and to reduce active power loss of the transmissions line. In this study, solution of the reactive power planning problem including FACTS devices is proposed by using hybrid PSOGSA algorithm. The proposed algorithm was applied to IEEE 30 bus test system with FACTS devices, such as thyristor control series compensator and thyristor control phase shifter. The obtained results from the proposed PSOGSA approach are compared to the obtained results from the vortex algorithm (VS), firefly algorithm (FA) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA). The comparison results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach to the other algorithms.

FACTS Cihazlarını İçeren Reaktif Güç Planlama Probleminin Hibrit PSOGSA Algoritması Kullanarak Çözülmesi

Abstract

Optimal reaktif güç planlama problemi modern güç sistemlerinin en önemli problemlerinden biridir. Modern güç sistemlerinde reaktif güç planlamanın ana amacı, gerilim profilini iyileştirmek ve iletim hattının aktif güç kayıplarını azaltmaktır. Bu çalışmada, hibrit PSOGSA algoritması kullanılarak FACTS cihazlarını içeren reaktif güç planlama probleminin çözülmesi amaçlanmıştır. Amaçlanan algoritma, tristör kontrollü seri kapasitör ve tristör kontrollü faz kaydırıcı FACTS cihazlı IEEE 30 bara test sistemine uygulanmıştır. Amaçlanan hibrit PSOGSA yaklaşımından elde edilen sonuçlar girdap algoritması (VS), ateş böceği algoritması (FA) ve yerçekimsel arama algoritmasından elde edilen sonuçlarla karşılaştırılmıştır. Karşılaştırma sonuçları amaçlanan yaklaşımın kullanılan diğer algoritmalara üstünlüğünü göstermektedir.
