1. Introduction

Real power loss reduction is the main aspect in this problem. Reactive power optimization plays a dominant role in power system operation & control. Reactive power and voltage control are one of the ancillary services to maintain voltage profile through injecting or absorbing reactive power in electricity market (Genco et al., 2018). Various techniques problem (Lee et al., 1984; Deeb and Shahidehpour, 1988; Bjelogrlic et al., 1990; Granville 1994; Grudinin, 1998; Yan et al., 2006) have been utilized but have the complexity in handling constraints. Different types of evolutionary optimization algorithms (Aparajita et al., 2015; Hu et al., 2010; Mahaletchumi et al., 2015; Sulaiman et al., 2015; Pandiarajan et al., 2016; Mahaletchumi et al., 2016; Rebecca et al., 2016; Genco et al., 2017) have been utilized in various stages to solve the problem. But evolutionary algorithms are also stuck into local optimal solution. In this work Camelopard optimization Algorithm (COA) is applied for solving reactive power optimization problem. As herds Camelopards live with related females & offspring, but bachelor herds of adult males are gathered in large aggregations in the grass lands. Social hierarchies are established by males through necking, is used as a weapon in combat bout. Special tactic of searching the grass land in fast mode has been utilized in the formulation of the algorithm. Projected Camelopard optimization Algorithm (COA) efficiency has been verified by testing it in standard IEEE 30, 57, 118,300 bus test systems. Also by considering the voltage stability evaluation the proposed algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 30 bus system. Simulation output shows that real power loss has been reduced & control variables are within the limits.

2. Problem formulation

Modal analysis for voltage stability evaluation

Power flow equations of the steady state system is given by,

$\left[ \begin{array} { c } { \Delta \mathrm { P } } \\ { \Delta \mathrm { Q } } \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array} { l } { \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { p } \theta } \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { pv } } } \\ { \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { q } \theta } \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { QV } } } \end{array} \right] \left[ \begin{array} { l } { \Delta \theta } \\ { \Delta V } \end{array} \right]$   (1)

Where

ΔP = bus real powerchange incrementally.

ΔQ = bus reactive Power injectionchange incrementally.

Δθ = bus voltage angle change incrementally.

ΔV = bus voltage Magnitudechange incrementally.

Jpθ, JPV, JQθ, JQV are sub-matrixes of the System voltage stability in jacobian matrix and both P and Q get affected by this.

Presume ΔP = 0, then equation (1) can be written as:

$\left.\Delta \mathrm { Q } = \left[ \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { QV } } - \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { Q } \theta } \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { P } \mathrm { \theta } ^ { - 1 } } \right] _ { \mathrm { PV } } \right] \Delta \mathrm { V } = \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { R } } \Delta \mathrm { V }$        (2)

$\Delta \mathrm { V } = \mathrm { J } ^ { - 1 } - \Delta \mathrm { Q }$   (3)

Where

$\mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { R } } = \left( \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { QV } } - \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { Q } \theta } \mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { P } \theta ^ { - 1 } } \mathrm { JPV } \right)$      (4)

JR denote the reduced Jacobian matrix of the system.

2.1. Modes of voltage instability

Voltage Stability characteristics of the system have been identified through computation of the Eigen values and Eigen vectors.

$\mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { R } } = \xi \wedge \mathrm { \eta }$   (5)

Where,

ξ denote the  right eigenvector matrix of JR, ηdenote the  left eigenvector matrix of JR, ∧ denote the  diagonal eigenvalue matrix of JR.

$\mathrm { J } _ { \mathrm { R } ^ { - 1 } } = \xi ^ { - 1 } \mathrm { \eta }$   (6)

From the equations (5) and (6),

$\Delta \mathrm { V } = \xi \wedge ^ { - 1 } \eta \Delta \mathrm { Q }$  (7)

or

$\Delta \mathrm { V } = \sum _ { \mathrm { I } } \frac { \mathfrak { \xi} _ { 1 } \eta _ { \mathrm { i } } } { \lambda _ { \mathrm { i } } } \Delta \mathrm { Q }$    (8)

ξi denote the ith column right eigenvector & η is the ith row left eigenvector of JR.

λi indicate the ith Eigen value of JR.

reactive power variation ofthe ith modalis given by,

$\Delta \mathrm { Q } _ { \mathrm { mi } } = \mathrm { K } _ { \mathrm { i } } \xi _ { \mathrm { i } }$  (9)

where,

$\mathrm { K } _ { \mathrm { i } } = \Sigma _ { \mathrm { j } } \xi _ { \mathrm { ij } ^ { 2 } } - 1$    (10)

Whereξji is the jth element of ξi

ith modal voltage variation is mathematically given by,

$\Delta \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { mi } } = \left[ 1 / \lambda _ { \mathrm { i } } \right] \Delta \mathrm { Q } _ { \mathrm { mi } }$    (11)

When the value of |λi| =0 then the ith modal voltage will get collapsed.

In equation (8), when ΔQ = ek  is assumed ,then ek has all its elements zero except the kth one being 1. Then

 can be formulated as follows,

$\Delta \mathrm { V } = \sum _ { \mathrm { i } } \frac { \mathrm { n } _ { 1 \mathrm { k } } \xi _ { 1 } } { \lambda _ { 1 } }$     (12)

$\eta_{1k}$ is k th element of $\eta_1$

At bus k V –Q sensitivity is given by,

$\frac { \partial \mathrm { v } _ { \mathrm { K } } } { \partial \mathrm { Q } _ { \mathrm { K } } } = \sum _ { \mathrm { i } } \frac { \eta _ { 1 \mathrm { k } } \xi _ { 1 } } { \lambda _ { 1 } } = \sum _ { \mathrm { i } } \frac { \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { ki } } } { \lambda _ { 1 } }$     (13)

Minimization of actual power loss and augmentation of static voltage stability margin index (SVSM) is main key to solve optimal reactive power dispatch problem. Voltage stability evaluation has been done through modal analysis method.

2.2. Minimization of real power loss

Real power loss (Ploss) minimization is given as,

$\mathrm { P } _ { \text {loss } } = \sum _ { \mathrm { k } = ( \mathrm { i } , \mathrm { j } ) } ^ { \mathrm { n } } \mathrm { g } _ { \mathrm { k } \left( \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { i } } ^ { 2 } + \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { j } } ^ { 2 } - 2 \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { i } } \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { j } } \cos \theta _ { \mathrm { ij } } \right) }$   (14)

Where n is the number of transmission lines, gk is the conductance of branch k, Vi and Vj are voltage magnitude at bus i and bus j, and θij is the voltage angle difference between bus i and bus j.

2.3. Minimization of voltage deviation

Formula for reducing the voltage deviation magnitudes (VD) is derived as follows,

Minimize $\mathrm { VD } = \sum _ { \mathrm { k } = 1 } ^ { \mathrm { nl } } \left| \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { k } } - 1.0 \right|$    (15)

Where nl is the number of load busses and Vk is the voltage magnitude at bus k.

2.4. System constraints

Load flow equality constraints:

$\mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { Gi } } - \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { Di } } - \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { i } } \sum _ { \mathrm { j } = 1 } ^ { \mathrm { nb } } \mathrm { v } _ { \mathrm { j } } \left[ \begin{array} { c c } { \mathrm { G } _ { \mathrm { ij } } } & { \cos \theta _ { \mathrm { ij } } } \\ { + \mathrm { B } _ { \mathrm { ij } } } & { \sin \theta _ { \mathrm { ij } } } \end{array} \right] = 0 , \mathrm { i } = 1,2 \ldots , \mathrm { nb }$     (16)

$\mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { Gi } } - \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { Di } } - \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { i } } \sum _ { \mathrm { j } = 1 } ^ { \mathrm { nb } } \mathrm { v } _ { \mathrm { j } } \left[ \begin{array} { c c } { \mathrm { G } _ { \mathrm { ij } } } & { \sin \theta _ { \mathrm { ij } } } \\ { + \mathrm { B } _ { \mathrm { ij } } } & { \cos \theta _ { \mathrm { ij } } } \end{array} \right] = 0 , \mathrm { i } = 1,2 \ldots , \mathrm { nb }$    (17)

where, nb is the number of buses, PG and QG are the real and reactive power of the generator, PD and QD are the real and reactive load of the generator, and Gij and Bij are the mutual conductance and susceptance between bus i and bus j.

$\mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { Gi } } ^ { \min } \leq \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { Gi } } \leq \mathrm { V } _ { \mathrm { Gi } } ^ { \max } , \mathrm { i } \in \mathrm { ng }$   (18)

$V _ { \mathrm { Li } } ^ { \min } \leq V _ { \mathrm { Li } } \leq V _ { \mathrm { Li } } ^ { \max } , \mathrm { i } \in \mathrm { nl }$    (19)

$\mathrm { Q } _ { \mathrm { Ci } } ^ { \min } \leq \mathrm { Q } _ { \mathrm { Ci } } \leq \mathrm { Q } _ { \mathrm { Ci } } ^ { \max } , \mathrm { i } \in \mathrm { nc }$       (20)

$\mathrm { Q } _ { \mathrm { Gi } } ^ { \min } \leq \mathrm { Q } _ { \mathrm { Gi } } \leq \mathrm { Q } _ { \mathrm { Gi } } ^ { \max } , \mathrm { i } \in \mathrm { ng }$   (21)

$\mathrm { T } _ { \mathrm { i } } ^ { \mathrm { min } } \leq \mathrm { T } _ { \mathrm { i } } \leq \mathrm { T } _ { \mathrm { i } } ^ { \mathrm { max } } , \mathrm { i } \in \mathrm { nt }$      (22)

$S _ { \mathrm { Li } } ^ { \min } \leq S _ { \mathrm { Li } } ^ { \max } , \mathrm { i } \in \mathrm { nl }$   (23)

3. Camelopard optimization algorithm

As herds Camelopards live with related females & offspring, adult males are in bachelor are in the grass lands in large proposition mode. Social hierarchies are established by males through necking, is used as a weapon in combat bout. Chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its distinctive coat patterns. The sole responsibility for raising the young in the herd is by Dominant males.

Special tactic of searching the grass land in fast mode has been utilized in the formulation of the algorithm. In the problem space Camelopard is a 1XNvar array & the array can be defined by,

camelopardfe$= \left[ X _ { 1 } , X _ { 2 } , X _ { 3 } , \ldots , X _ { N _ { v a r } } \right]$  (24)

For each Camelopard the function value can be determined by,

Value $= \mathrm { f } ( \text { Camelopard } ) = \mathrm { f } \left( X _ { 1 } , X _ { 2 } , X _ { 3 } , \ldots , X _ { N a r } \right)$    (25)

Self-regulating nature of Camelopard has been incorporated into the modeled Camelopard optimization Algorithm (COA) & written in Equation (26).

$\mathrm { g } _ { \mathrm { k } + 1 } = \mathrm { g } _ { \mathrm { k } } + \mathrm { r } _ { \mathrm { m } 1 } \mathrm { p } _ { 1 } \left( \mathrm { lo } _ { \mathrm { max } } - \mathrm { n } _ { \mathrm { k } } \right) + \mathrm { r } _ { \mathrm { m } 2 } \mathrm { p } _ { 2 } \left( \mathrm { If } _ { \mathrm { max } } - \mathrm { n } _ { \mathrm { k } } \right)$      (26)

Exploration mentioned by gk, exploitation by nk, learning factors are given by

 rm1, rm2, p1, p2 are denoting arbitrary numbers.

Lead Camelopard will be act as an interface with abundant Camelopards as indicated in (equation (26)), there will be a comparison between each Camelopard. Movement to various locations by the Camelopard is articulated by following equation,

$\mathrm { n } _ { \mathrm { k } + 1 } = \lambda \left( \mathrm { g } _ { \mathrm { k } } + \mathrm { n } _ { \mathrm { k } } \right)$    (27)

Fitness of each Camelopard will be computed, lqmax(individual Camelopard location), lsmax(best location of the Camelopard herd) will be found. Fitness of the current is better than (lqmax) location vector then that particular value will be saved. Equations (26), (27) utilized to control the movement of the Camelopard. lsmax, lqmaxboth play lead role in the search other & movement to other areas in search is controlled by equation (26). From the maximum vector

 is subtracted & it will be multiplied by an arbitrary number ,  in the range between 0.00, 0.59 by learning parameter rm1, rm2.

5. Conclusion

In this work Camelopard optimization Algorithm (COA) efficiently solved the power problem. Mathematical modeling efficiently improved the search of the optimal solution. Both the exploration & exploitation has been comparatively increased in the proposed technique. Camelopard optimization Algorithm (COA) has performed well when evaluated in standard IEEE 30, 57, 118, 300 bus test systems. Also by considering the voltage stability evaluation the proposed algorithm has been successfully tested in standard IEEE 30 bus system. True power loss reduced considerably when compared to another standard algorithm.
