Multi-objective Oriented Search Algorithm for Multi-objective Reactive Power Optimization

This paper presents a novel algorithm, multi-objective oriented search algorithm (MOOSA), to deal with the problem of multi-objective reactive power optimization in power system. The multi-objective oriented search algorithm has strong ability to search optimal solutions and well-distributed solutions in Pareto front. The results show that the proposed algorithm is able to balance the multi objects in multi-objective reactive power optimization through the simulations on IEEE 30-bus testing system. The paper concludes that MOOSA is an effective tool to handle the problem of multi-objective reactive power optimization.
