Reactive Power Optimization for Power System with Wind Farm Based on Improved Particle Swarm Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

The problem of power system reactive power optimization is a mathematical problem with multiple variables and constraints, which is complex and non-linear. The control variables include continuous variables and discrete variables; its difficult to get the optimal solution. A solution in power flow calculation is put forward after the mathematical model of wind farm is built in this paper. Based on this, taking the WSCC 9 nodes system as an example, use the particle swarm algorithm to solve the reactive power optimization problem. The result shows that this algorithm has an apparent positive effect on reducing system power loss and improving system voltages.
