Voltage and Reactive Power Control by Particle Swarm Optimization Considering Control Process

Abstract

This paper presents a new approach to optimal voltage and reactive power control based on a particle swarm optimization (PSO). The proposed method switches one of controller by PSO and considers control times to the objective function. Therefore, this method can give the control process. The methods which give the control process have not been proposed in the algorithm of PSO. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by practical 15-bus and 118-bus systems.
