Designing program for economic of operation power system

Abstract EN

In this paper, the economic dispatch algorithm is used to reduce the losses in the power system.

The method of LaGrange was built to solve the problem of losses reduction case to reduce the total generation cost.

The some capacitors in the power system are installed them on the buses of the system to minimize the power losses and get the best total generation cost.

To achieve that, the present work is developed to determine the optimal location and size of capacitors in transmission power system where, the Participation Factor Algorithm and the Steady State Genetic Algorithm are proposed to select the best locations for the capacitors (by the first algorithm PF) and determine the optimal size for them (by the second algorithm ssGA), taking into consideration the cost of power losses, cost of fuel, and cost of the capacitors.
