A Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO) Algorithm for Solving Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Problem

This paper presents a chaotic particle swarm algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem. To deal with reactive power optimization problem, a chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) is presented to avoid the premature convergence. By fusing with the ergodic and stochastic chaos, the novel algorithm explores the global optimum with the comprehensive learning strategy. The chaotic searching region can be adjusted adaptively.  In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, it has been tested on IEEE 30 bus system and simulation results show that (CPSO)   is more efficient than other algorithms in reducing the real power loss and maximization of voltage stability index. Keywords: chaotic particle swarm optimization, Optimization, Swarm Intelligence, optimal reactive power, Transmission loss.
