Abstract:

Effectively reducing the loss of distribution network active power has been an important issue in the safe and economic operation of distribution networks. In order to solve the problem of large network loss in local areas,an improved genetic algorithm was proposed for reactive power compensation optimization. While considering the topological structure of distribution network, an adaptive genetic operator was designed and an exponential fitness function was constructed to promote the convergence speed and precision of genetic algorithm. In this way, the global random search capability of genetic algorithm could be fully utilized. The results of optimizing a 16-node study showed that the active network loss of the distribution network dropped from 6.76% to 5.16%,and the voltage qualification rate increased from 70.61% to 92.86%,indicating both the global optimization accuracy and the voltage quality of the regional network were improved. In addition, it also proved that this improved genetic algorithm is feasible for reactive power optimization.
