Reactive Power Planning of Distribution Network Considering Voltage-Dependent Characteristics of Capacitor
Traditionally,the capacity of a capacitor is usually regarded as a fixed value in the planning of reactive power for distribution network.In fact,the voltage has significant influence on the actual compensation capacity of a capacitor.Considering the voltage-dependent characteristics of the capacitor,a novel reactive power planning mathematical model with the objective of minimizing the annual total cost is proposed.According to the characteristics of the model,adaptive genetic algorithm is applied to solve the model.Case studies carried out on the 33-bus and 69-bus distribution networks verify the feasibility of the planning model.
