Distribution network reactive power optimization, which can effectively reduce distribution network wastage, can not only improve voltage distribution network quality, but also realize the distribution network security control. Stable operation provides solid foundation for the electric power enterprise economy. Unlike genetic algorithm that shares the feature information between the chromosomes, the unique migration pattern of BBO algorithm makes the good feature in the habitats broadcast widely among habitats, thus, the optimization process would be accelerated and the reactive power compensation location could be confirmed quickly. And by using BBO algorithm in the example analysis and conducting simulation through PSASP, it proves that biogeography optimization algorithm is quite effective when applied in distribution network reactive power optimization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
