Abstract:This paper presents improved voltage and reactive power distribution factors, calculated by genetic algorithms. Deficiencies of the traditional sensitivity based linear methods are first overcome by constructing a bounded optimization procedure between the reactive power flows and the voltage magnitudes. This optimization problem is later solved by using genetic algorithms. The accuracy of the calculated post-outage voltage magnitudes and reactive power flows was tested on IEEE 14-Bus and IEEE 57-bus test syst… Show more
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.
