Abstract:
In dynamic reactive power optimization problem(DRPO), action number constraints of discrete variables should be considered.By integrating immune genetic algorithm(IGA) and nonlinear interior point method(NIPM), a hybrid method for DRPO is proposed.First,the original DRPO problem is converted to a continuous optimization problem by relaxing the discrete variables,and the solution is obtained by NIPM.Then,according to the feature of control variables,the original DRPO problem is decomposed into a continuous optimization sub-problem and a discrete optimization sub-problem.The discrete optimization sub-problem is solved by IGA,and the continuous one is solved by NIPM.By solving the two sub-problems alternately,the optimal solution of the DRPO can be obtained.The proposed hybrid method combines advantages of IGA and NIPM,and finds the approximate optimal solution of DRPO.Numerical simulations on the IEEE 14 bus system illustrate that the proposed hybrid method is effective.
