摘要
The reactive power optimization in distribution networks with distributed generators is a nonlinear and non-convex problem in essence and one hard to get an optimal solution. In light of the radial operation characteristic of the distribution network, this paper develops a three-phase reactive power optimization model based on branch power flow equations. Then the original reactive power optimization model is converted to a mathematical programming form with a convex feasible zone based on the second-order cone relaxation technology. Further, the model is extended to a mixed integer second-order cone programming model by taking the discrete compensation devices (such as capacitors) into account. The model can easily be solved by existing optimization solvers. Numerical tests on an IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 123-bus distribution system show that the proposed method is capable of efficient global optimal solution. ©2014 State Grid Electric Power Research Institute Press
