Voltage and Reactive Power Control Using Multiple Objective Optimization Method with PSO
Keisuke Iwasaki, Hidenori Aoki · 2007
This paper presents an application of the multiple objective optimization method for voltage and reactive power control (VQC). In order to obtain the optimal combination of parameters which consists of a large quantity of electric power control machinery precisely and effectively, Meta-heuristics has been used for VQC. However, this method has been used as one objective optimization so that it is impossible to present a relationship between multiple objects. Therefore, a method that allows for consideration of the trade-off among multiple objects should be applied to this problem. Consequently, this paper introduces the concept of Pareto optimal solutions and proposes a method that allows satisfactory solutions to be obtained with PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). This will allow operators to successfully build a flexible VQC system by finding Pareto optimal solutions.
