Abstract
The demand for electrical power is continuously increasing which may lead to voltage depression in buses or excessive reactive power flow in branches. Solution of voltage constrained reactive power planning (VCRPP) problem aims to optimize objective function like transmission loss, operating cost, and betterment of magnitude of voltage by optimal adjustment of controlling parameters. In present work, Ameliorated Harris hawks optimization (AHHO) and Harris hawks optimization (HHO) algorithm have been applied for the solution of VCRPP problem of power system. Ameliorated Harris hawks optimization procedure improves searching process of the pray. The proposed approach has been tested and examined under different reactive loading conditions. The efficacy of the suggested method is demonstrated from the numerical simulations and justified by comparison with other evolutionary techniques for optimization.
