KGMO for multi-objective optimal allocation of SVC and reactive power dispatch

In the paper, KGMO algorithm is proposed to obtain the optimum settings of reactive power dispatch (RPD) problem to support the voltage profile. Here, multi objectives are used for RPD problem; power loss and total voltage deviation (TVD) minimization. In addition to conventional control parameters for RPD, a FACTS device, namely, SVC has been introduced in power system to bring novelty in reactive power support. The performance of KGMO was tested on IEEE 30 bus test framework in MATLAB tool. From simulation results, the optimal control parameters of MORPD are determined and compared for without and with SVC.
