Abstract

One of the methods for improving the efficiency of power system transmission is the Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD). The ORPD technique has been used to minimize the transmission network’s power loss by regulating the system control variables. The control variables regulated by ORPD control the reactive power generated sources, such as generator voltage, tap ratio setting for transformers, and reactive power injected by VAR compensator devices. On the other hand, ORPD is a non-linear and non-convex problem, so it needs an optimizer algorithm capable of solving its characteristics. This article discusses using a meta-heuristic algorithm (MA) to solve the ORPD problem. The MA used is one kind of physical phenomena-inspired optimizer called Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA). The AOA tracks the best combination of all control variables, producing the maximum total active power loss. The performance of AOA tracking used in ORPD problem solving is tested using a standard IEEE 30 bus system. The AOA is compared to other MAs in comparison analysis to perform its superiority. AOA was also tested in correlation analysis to determine the best value of population size and the maximum number of iterations based-on its tracking accuracy, speed of convergence, and processing time. The results show that ORPD problem-solving with AOA has the advantage of reducing power loss by 11.9%. The simulated results confirm the efficiency and robustness of AOA for solving the ORPD problem.
