A Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm-Based Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch with Wind-Integrated Power Systems

Keeping the bus voltage within acceptable limits depends on dispatching reactive power. Power quality improves as a result of creating an effective power flow system, which also helps to reduce loss. Therefore, optimal dispatch (ORPD) studies aim at designing appropriate system configurations enable reliable operation systems. Establishment such configuration is handled through control variables in Various variables, adjusting generator voltages, transformer tap locations, and switchable shunt capacitor sizes, are utilized achieve this objective. Additionally, integration wind can greatly impact mitigate In study, Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) approach was applied ORPD issue for first time discover best placement newly installed while taking into account changer settings, generated levels. The main objective determine minimize loss deviation, maintaining specified limits. On basis IEEE 30-bus 118-bus systems, performance proposed method investigated. results demonstrated superiority GWO multiple scenarios. IEEE-30, outperformed PSO, GA, ABC, OGSA, HBMO, HFA methods, reducing total by 10.36%, 18.03%, 9.19%, 7.13%, 5.23%, 7.73%, respectively, deviation 68.00%, 1.59%, 36.34%, 41.97%, 46.29%, 71.08%, respectively. scenarios, achieved simultaneous reduction deviation. IEEE-118, GSA, CFA approximately 19.91%, 16.83%, 14.09%, 4.36%, 8.50%, 14.15%, 16.19%, 7.17%, These promising highlighted potential algorithm facilitate renewable energy sources, its role promoting sustainable solutions. addition, study conducted analysis investigate site-specific using Weibull distribution function commercial turbines.
