Solving Reactive Power Scheduling Problem using Multi-objective Crow Search Algorithm

This paper presents the solution of multi-objective based optimal reactive power dispatch (MO-ORPD) problem by optimizing the system power losses and voltage stability enhancement index (VSEI)/L-index objectives. ORPD problem is considered as an important issue from system security and operational point of view for optimal steady-state operation of power system. Here, single-objective based ORPD problem is solved using Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) and multi-objective based ORPD problem is solved using multi-objective CSA (MO-CSA). The CSA is considered as an efficient and robust algorithm which determines the global optimal solution for solving the non-linear and discontinuous objective functions. Two standard test systems, i.e., IEEE 30 and 57 bus systems are considered to show the effectiveness, suitability and robustness of CSA and MO-CSA for solving the ORPD problem.
