The Application of Adaptive Immune Algorithm for Reactive Power Optimization

The adaptive immune algorithm (AIA) developed from immune algorithm (IA), owns faster computation speed and better convergence than that of GA and other stochastic type algorithms, due to its characteristic of having two layers optimization. The paper proposes to apply adaptive immune algorithm for reactive power optimization. The coding method for the control variables based on decimal system is introduced in detail. The test results of example systems demonstrate its feasibility and validity.
