REACTIVE POWER OPTIMIZATION USING SUCCESSIVE QUADRATIC-PROGRAMMING METHOD

This paper presents a reactive power optimization model that is based on successive quadratic programming (SQP) methods. Mathematical formul ation and unified algorithm suppose different objective functions (OF) of reactive power optimization, depending on type and purposes of cur rent reactive power control or planning problem. A bicriterion reactiv e power optimization model, that represents compromise between economi cal and security objective functions, is proposed. An efficient algori thm for approximation of initial problem by quadratic programming prob lem is described. Quadratic programming problem (QP) is solved on base of Newton type quadratic programming method. Modified successive quad ratic programming method was developed, that provide reliable converge nce of SQP method.
