In this paper optimal reactive power dispatch problem (ORPD), has been solved by Enriched Red Wolf Optimization (ERWO) algorithm. Projected ERWO algorithm hybridizes the wolf optimization (WO) algorithm with swarm based algorithm called as particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. In the approach each Red wolf has a flag vector, and length is equivalent to the whole sum of numbers which features in the dataset of the wolf optimization (WO). Exploration capability of the projected Red wolf optimization algorithm has been enriched by hybridization of both WO with PSO. Efficiency of the projected Enriched Red wolf optimization (ERWO) evaluated in standard IEEE 30 bus test system. Simulation study indicates Enriched Red wolf optimization (ERWO) algorithm performs well in tumbling the actual power losses& particularly voltage stability has been enriched.

This paper presents a new Salmo Salar (SS) algorithm for Solving Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Problem. Salmo Salar Algorithm imitates the annual natural events happening in the North America. Millions of Salmo salar move about through mountain streams for spawning. Proposed SS algorithm utilizes the behaviour of Salmo Salar to solve the optimal reactive power problem. Proposed (SS) algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 30 bus test system and simulation results shows clearly about the good performance of the proposed algorithm in reducing the real power loss and enhancing the voltage stability.

In this paper, Crowding Distance based Particle Swarm Optimization (CDPSO) algorithm has been proposed to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch problem. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is swarm intelligence-based exploration and optimization algorithm which is used to solve global optimization problems. In PSO, the population is referred as a swarm and the individuals are called particles. Like other evolutionary algorithms, PSO performs searches using a population of individuals that are updated from iteration to iteration. The crowding distance is introduced as the index to judge the distance between the particle and the adjacent particle, and it reflects the congestion degree of no dominated solutions. In the population, the larger the crowding distance, the sparser and more uniform. In the feasible solution space, we uniformly and randomly initialize the particle swarms and select the no dominated solution particles consisting of the elite set. After that by the methods of congestion degree choosing (the congestion degree can make the particles distribution more sparse) and the dynamic e infeasibility dominating the constraints, we remove the no dominated particles in the elite set. Then, the objectives can be approximated. Proposed crowding distance based Particle Swarm Optimization (CDPSO) algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 30 bus test system and simulation results shows clearly the improved performance of the projected algorithm in reducing the real power loss and static voltage stability margin has been enhanced.

<p>Voltage instability problem has been known as a significant threat to power system operation since its occurrence can lead to power interruption. This phenomenon can be due to uncontrollable load increment, line and generator outage contingencies or unplanned load curtailment. Optimal reactive power dispatch involving reactive power support can be one of the options for improving voltage stability of a power system, which also requires optimization process. Optimal sizing and location can of reactive power support can avoid the system from experiencing over-compensated or under-compensated phenomena. The presence of optimization techniques has helped solving non-optimal phenomenon, nevertheless some setbacks have also been experienced in terms of inaccuracy and stuck in local optima. This paper presents the application of Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) technique in attempt to solve optimal reactive power dispatch problem in terms of reactive power support for voltage stability improvement. Optimization process tested on IEEE 14-bus Reliability Test System (RTS) has revealed its superiority with significant promising results in terms of voltage stability improvement in the test system. </p>
