Multi-Objective Coordinated Control of Reactive Compensation Devices Among Multiple Substations

The multi-objective reactive power coordination control model was presented in this paper to overcome the drawback that reactive power compensation devices lack in coordination and have high active power loss. In this model, the minimum bus voltage deviation and total power loss of reactive power compensation devices are taken as objective functions, by bringing the lower voltage reactors and capacitors into the static var compensator control system and considering the reactive power compensation devices interaction between different transformer substations. Due to the different sensitivity of control variables in control model and lack of the local search ability, control variables are divided into sensitive variables and non-sensitive variables. Then, the improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) with secondary search ability is used to search the Pareto optimal solution set. Two substations in large power grid with strong voltage coupling are coordinated in different load level. The results obtained by proposed NSGA-II algorithm can provide a variety of optimal control strategies. Compared to the conventional NSGA-II algorithm and normal boundary intersection method, the improved NSGA-II algorithm has better convergence curve and distribution of the Pareto solution sets.
