Abstract :
This paper studies the design of reactive power supply for microgrids. The problem can be stated as follows: for a given microgrid, determine an optimum allocation of reactive power sources so that adequate voltages can be maintained during islanded mode as well as more than one topology of islanded operation. A genetic algorithm is used to develop the optimal allocation
