This paper present’s Dimensioned Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) algorithm for solving Reactive power optimization (RPO) problem.  Dimensioned extension is introduced to particles in the particle swarm optimization (PSO) model in order to overcome premature convergence in interactive optimization. In the performance of basic PSO often flattens out with a loss of diversity in the search space as resulting in local optimal solution.  Proposed algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 57 test bus system and compared to other standard algorithms. Simulation results reveal about the best performance of the proposed algorithm in reducing the real power loss and voltage profiles are within the limits.

The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm as a stochastic search algorithm for solving reactive power optimization problem. The PSO algorithm converges too fast, easy access to local convergence, leading to convergence accuracy is not high, to study the particle swarm algorithm improvements. The establishment of a comprehensive consideration of the practical constraints and reactive power regulation means no power optimization mathematical model, a method using improved particle swarm algorithm for reactive power optimization problem, the algorithm weighting coefficients and inactive particles are two aspects to improve. Meanwhile segmented approach to particle swarm algorithm improved effectively address the shortcomings evolution into local optimum and search accuracy is poor, in order to determine the optimal reactive power optimization program.

In this paper the minimization of power losses in a real distribution network have been described by solving reactive power optimization problem. The optimization has been performed and tested on Konya Eregli Distribution Network in Turkey, a section of Turkish electric distribution network managed by MEDAŞ (Meram Electricity Distribution Corporation). The network contains about 9 feeders, 1323 buses (including 0.4 kV, 15.8 kV and 31.5 kV buses) and 1311 transformers. This paper prefers a new Chaotic Firefly Algorithm (CFA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for the power loss minimization in a real distribution network. The reactive power optimization problem is concluded with minimum active power losses by the optimal value of reactive power. The formulation contains detailed constraints including voltage limits and capacitor boundary. The simulation has been carried out with real data and results have been compared with Simulated Annealing (SA), standard Genetic Algorithm (SGA) and standard Firefly Algorithm (FA). The proposed method has been found the better results than the other algorithms.

In order to reduce the active network loss, increase the power quality and voltage static stability of power system, an index function of multi-objective reactive power optimization is established. Then, an improved adaptive chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the problem. Through the using of cubic chaotic mapping, the particle population is initialized to enhance the diversity of its value; In the optimization process, poor fitness particles are updated with chaos disturbance, and their inertia weight are adjusted dynamically with particles fitness value so as to avoid local convergence. Simulation of IEEE 30 bus system shows that the proposed algorithm for reactive power optimization can avoid premature convergence effectively, and converge to optimal solution rapidly.
