Enhancement of Voltage Deviationin a Power Systemby Rectifying OPF Troubles

Abstract

This paper presents an evolutionary based approach to solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem. For optimal settings of OPF control variables, the proposed approach utilizes Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. On standard IEEE 30-bus test system is observed and tested with various objective functions like voltage deviation enhancement and voltage profile improvement in this proposed approach. The outcome of IPSO-TVAC method has quality convergence attribute. Furthermore it shows the possible of the proposed approach and illustrates its usefulness and toughness to solve the OPF problem for the systems considered. The proposed approach simulation results are lesser than other optimization algorithms reported in the literature.
