Optimal reactive power planning using oppositional grey wolf optimization by considering bus vulnerability analysis

Abstract Power system instability primarily results from the deviation of the frequency from its predefined rated value. This deviation causes voltage collapse, which further leads to sudden blackouts of the power system network. It is often triggered by a lack of reactive capacity. The solution to...

description Abstract Power system instability primarily results from the deviation of the frequency from its predefined rated value. This deviation causes voltage collapse, which further leads to sudden blackouts of the power system network. It is often triggered by a lack of reactive capacity. The solution to the reactive capacity problem can be obtained in two stages. In the first stage, the vulnerable buses, also known as ‘weak buses’, where voltage failure might occur are identified, and the Var compensating devices are mounted at those locations. The proposed approach utilizes three simple vulnerable bus detection methods: the fast voltage stability index, line stability index, and voltage collapse proximity index (VCPI). In the second stage, various optimization algorithms are implemented to determine the optimal setting of Var sources, such as particle swarm optimization, differential evolution, the whale optimization algorithm, the grasshopper optimization algorithm, the salp swarm algorithm, grey wolf optimization, and oppositional grey wolf optimization (OGWO). The results indicate that the best approach to poor bus recognition is the VCPI, and the OGWO technique provides a much less expensive system than other optimization strategies used for problems of optimal reactive power planning.
