Abstract

This paper presents a solution for the Volt/VAR control (VVC) problem in distribution system using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The problem is divided into two parts. In the first part the candidate buses for reactive power insertion are determined. In the second part the locations, number and sizes of reactive power sources are determined in an optimal manner. The solution method has been implemented and tested with a 12-bus IEEE test system.
