In a de-regulated open access environment, reactive power is one of the ancillary services which must be provided by an Independent System Operator (ISO). In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed in which reactive power resources are initially so tuned that optimum security in terms of voltage profile and voltage stability are achieved while at the same time, the system losses are minimized. ...

This paper presents a hybrid particle swarm algorithm for solving the multiobjective reactive power dispatch problem. Modal analysis of the system is used for static voltage stability assessment. Loss minimization and maximization of voltage stability margin are taken as the objectives. Generator terminal voltages, reactive power generation of the capacitor banks and tap changing transformer se...

At the present time, the extensive use of fossil based fuels in power generation units requires the concern of the environmental pollution. The traditional economic power dispatch cannot meet the environmental safety requirements, since it focus only on minimizing the total fuel cost of the system. The multi-objective optimization in electric power systems treats economic and emission act as co...
