Solving Reactive Power Dispatch Problem by Using JAYA Optimization Algorithm

Abstract:

This paper proposes a new optimization algorithm called JAYA algorithm for solving the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem. Minimizing the real power losses is one of main objective functions of (ORPD) problem. The ORPD problem is subjected to non-linear equality and inequality operational constraints. The proposed JAYA is a recently developed optimization algorithm. The main merit of Jaya algorithm is that the algorithm performance is liberated of specific control parameters adjustment. Therefore, it overcomes the limitations of previous optimization algorithms in terms of achieving the global optima atless computational efforts. The effectiveness of the proposed Jaya algorithm is proven on three standard systems namely IEEE 14-bus, 30-bus and 118-bus test systems. Added to that, Jaya is successively tested on the West Delta Real Network (WDRN) as a real part of the Egyptian grid. The obtained simulation results prove that the proposed JAYA algorithm has significant reduction in power losses for the tested system compared with other optimization algorithms. The obtained results confirm that the proposed JAYA optimization algorithm can make a noticeable enhancement on solving the ORPD problem for small and large-scale power systems.
