Abstract: 

n the safety and economic point of view, Reactive Power is the most problematic thing during the operation of the electrical power system network. Reactive Power supply completion is a nonlinear and has both equality and inequality constraints. In this work, to find the solution of reactive power supply issue, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and MATPOWER 5.1 toolbox are utilized. PSO is an excellent optimization technique that is also having effective finding ability. One of the best asset of PSO is that the ability of PSO is less sensitive to the complication of the objective function. MAT POWER 5.1 is an open source MATLAB toolbox concentrating on finding the power flow issues. The proposed method in this paper diminishes the active power loss in the conventional power system and determines the optimal location of a new installed Distributed Generator (DG). The IEEE 14 bus system is utilized to find the performance and test results show the perfectness of the proposed method.
