Optimization of Size and Cost of Static VAR Compensator using Dragonfly Algorithm for Voltage Profile Improvement in Power Transmission Systems
Abstract
Voltage stability is a major concern in power transmission systems due to mismatch between power generation and demand. Hence maintenance of voltage profile within the acceptable limit  becomes  a challenging task. In this paper the weakest buses for implementing the reactive power compensators are identified by eigenvalue decomposition technique on partitioned Y-admittance matrix. The size and cost of the SVC are optimized using dragonfly algorithm. The algorithm is implemented on IEEE 14 and 30 bus systems and the results obtained with and without the placement of Static VAR Compensators are compared with the results of other algorithms to show its effectiveness. The further scope of this work is to extend this to renewable energy by implementing the wind generators at the weakest buses there by reducing the electrical distance between the generators and the farthest load buses and securing the system from voltage collapse.
