Reactive Power Compensation of Oilfield Distribution Systems Based on Tabu Search Algorithm

Abstract:

In order to solve the problem in reactive power compensation of oilfield distribution systems at present, a Taboo search algorithm is proposed in this paper, by which the optimal location and size of shunt capacitors on distribution systems are determined. Then the voltage profile is improved and the active power loss is reduced. In this paper, Voltage qualified is used as objective function to search an initial solution that meets the voltage constraints so that it is feasible in practicable voltage range; then the global optimum solution can be got when taking the reduced maximum of active power loss as objective unction. The examples show that the improved algorithm is feasible and effective.
