The research on the hybrid intelligent algorithm to reactive power optimization

In this paper, a new voltage-reactive power optimization method is introduced, which considers the equipment operational cost and confines the number of operated equipment in each optimization. This paper presents a method of reactive power optimization using the hybrid intelligent algorithm (HIA), which is based on IGA and MSCOA, can be easily coded to work on parallel or distributed environment since IGA and MSCOA have the characteristic of parallelization. The hybrid intelligent algorithm is applied to the IEEE 30-bus system and the computing results prove the method of reactive power optimization which is based on the hybrid intelligent algorithm in this paper is effective and valuable in theory and practice.
