Control of Reactive Power Based on Lévy Flight

Abstract

Optimal power flow is the main economic problem in power system operation. The Modified Cuckoo Search for Reactive Power (MCSRP) based on conventional Cuckoo search algorithm is suggested in this paper to solve the problem of optimal reactive power. Minimization of loss in addition to the maximization of voltage stability led to reducing the overall cost of the system. To cope with these issues, the Cuckoo search has been presented to handle effectively in this problem. This proposed algorithm has been tested on IEEE 30 – bus system and the obtained result are compared to that from another algorithm. Simulation result show that the proposed algorithm is more efficient for solving the objective function in power loss system. This algorithm is a practical study to calculate energy losses and is the best method used in economic calculations.
