Abstract
Optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problems are important tools for the sake of security and economics of power systems. The ORPD problems are nonlinear optimization problems to minimize the real power losses and voltage profile enhancement by optimizing several discrete and continuous control variables. This paper proposes a Lévy-flight phasor particle swarm optimization (LPPSO) for solving ORPD problems while considering real power losses and voltage profile in two standard power systems. The simulation results demonstrate that the LPPSO algorithm proves itself as an acceptable method for reaching a more optimal solution for the ORPD problems.
