Abstract :
The authors propose an algorithm for solving reactive power planning problems. The optimization approach is based on a recursive mixed-integer programming technique using an approximation method. A fundamental feature of this algorithm is that the number of capacitor or reactor units can be treated as a discrete variable in solving large-scale VAr (volt-ampere reactive) planning problems. Numerical results have verified the validity and efficiency of the algorithm
