Abstract

Optimal reactive power dispatch (RPD) is the most challenging, complex nonlinear problem in power system. The goal of the RPD is to reduce the power loss subjected to some continuous and non-continuous constraints like tab setting of transformer, voltage power and adjustment of inductors, etc. RPD is concerned with economics and security of the power system. Due to its complexity, most popular heuristics algorithm, gravitational search algorithm (GSA), is applied. This algorithm is centered on Newton law of motion and universal gravitational law. GSA is applied over the considered benchmark IEEE-14 bus system. The results are compared with others popular heuristics. Varieties of ways are considered to find the efficiency of GSA over IEEE-14 bus system. The evaluated numerical and statistical results show that GSA can efficiently solve IEEE-14 bus system.
