Improvement of voltage profile and reactive power using genetic algorithm

Abstract. Electrical power network is the biggest hand make of human and this network growth every day. The electrical power network has many sections and variables. In this network, the voltage profile is the most important issue to be considered. The voltage profile is hardly associated with management of reactive power. For this purpose, this paper proposes an intelligent system to improve the voltage profile using reactive power management. The proposed system uses genetic algorithm to select the best parameters of power network. In the proposed method, we consider some important variables of electrical power network such as compensator location, compensators value, on line tap changeable transformers tap ratio. Also the proposed optimization algorithm is compared with other nature based optimization algorithms such as particle swarm optimization algorithm and imperialist competitive algorithm. The proposed system is tested on twenty five buses system and the obtained results show that the proposed system has good performance.
