Abstract
This paper proposes an application of real coded
genetic algorithm (RGA) to reactive power planning (RPP).
Several techniques have been developed to make RGA
practicable to solve a real power system problem and other
practical problems. The proposed approach has been used
in the IEEE 30-bus system. Simulation results, compared
with those obtained by using the evolutionary
programming(EP), are presented to show that the present
method is better for power system planning. In the case of
optimization of non-continuous and non-smooth function,
RGA gives much better results than EP. The comprehensive
simulation results show a great potential for applications of
RGA in power system economical and secure operation,
planning and reliability assessment.
