A new approach type-Newton for optimal reactive dispatch problem

Abstract

This paper presents a new approach that improves the performance of the Newton's method for optimal reactive dispatch problem. In this approach the inequality constraints are divided into two groups: constraints treated by penalty function, which are added to the objective function through penalty factors, and constraints treated by barrier function that are grouped with the set of active constraints (power flow equations). The first order necessary conditions for optimality are reached by Newton's method, and by updating the penalty and barrier terms. The factorization is camed out on elements instead of structures in blocks. The main advantage is not to identify the biding constraints set. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been examined by solving the 53-bus and 118-bus systems.Index Terms--Newton's method, Nonlinear programming, Optimal power flow, Power system planning.

Volt/VAR Optimization: A Survey of Classical and Heuristic Optimization Methods

“…the matrix of 2 nd -order partial derivatives of the objective function), and ) ( k x f  is the vector of 1 st -order derivatives of the objective function at k x . Examples of the application of Newton's method to the VVO problem can be found in [88]- [90].…”

“…The reliability of Newton's method particularly requires that the difference between the objective function and its 2 ndorder approximation at the current iterate not be too large. Despite these issues, Newton's method is not only a classical method for nonlinear optimization, but also represents an important optimization approach, both efficient and robust for a large class of problems [90].…”

Resolução do problema de fluxo de potência ótimo com variáveis de controle discretas

“…A eficiência da abordagem proposta foi verificada resolvendo os sistemas IEEE 30 barras e o brasileiro sul-sudeste. Sousa et al (2003) apresentaram uma nova abordagem para o problema de Despacho Ótimo de Reativos, que melhora o desempenho do Método de Newton. No método proposto, as restrições de desigualdade referentes aos limites para as magnitudes das tensões e para os taps dos transformadores são associadas à função objetivo por meio de uma Função Penalidade; as restrições de desigualdade referentes às injeções de potência reativa são tratadas pelo Método Primal-Dual Barreira Logarítmica.…”
