ABSTRACT
This Article presents an application of Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) to Optimal Reactive Power
Planning (RPP) using Differential Evolution(DE). FVSI is used to identify the weak buses for the Reactive
Power Planning problem which involves process of experimental by voltage stability analysis based on the
load variation. The peak at Fast Voltage Stabilty Index secure to 1 indicates the greatest feasible connected
load and the bus with least connected load is identified as the weakest bus at the point of bifurcation. This
technique is tested on the IEEE 30-bus system. The outcome confirm significant decrease in system losses
and enhancementt of voltage stability with the use of Fast Voltage Stability Index based optimal Reactive
Power Planning using Differential Evolution and compared with Evalutionary Programming

1.INTRODUCTION One of the most challenging issues in power system research, Reactive Power Planning (RPP).Reactive power planning could be formulated with different objective functions[6] such as cost based objectives considering system operating conditions.Objecives can be changeable and unchanginh Reactive power(VAr)installation cost,real power loss cost and maximizing voltage stability margin.The objective function of the Reactive power planning means to minimize the real power loss and fixed VAr installation cost and deals different constraints are security and voltage stability constraints [1-7]. This different constraints are the key of various classification of optimization models[1-4]. Recently new methods[7] on artificial intelligence have been used in reactive power planning.Conventional optimization methods are based on successive linearization[13] and use the I and II order derivatives of goal function. Since the formulae of RPP problem are hyper quadric functions, linear and quadratic treatment induce lots of restricted minima.The rapid development of power electronics technology provides exciting opportunities to develop new power system equipment for better utilization of existing systems. This Article Presents an application of Fast Voltage Stabilty Index(FVSI) to identify the weak buses for the RPP problem using soft computing technique based Differential Evolution(DE) [15]. Differential Evolution is a method that optimizes a problem by iteratively trying to improve the candidate solution by most versatile implementation maintains a pair of vector population [8, 10, 11,17]. Here, computationally fast indicator of voltage stability index is presented which can be made as direct adjustment to load flow studies called as Fast Voltage Stability Index FVSI [9, 15,16]. The method of determining Fast voltage stability index has been used in the Reactive

3. PROBLEM FORMULATION It is aimed in this objective function in Reactive Power planning that minimizing of the real power loss (Ploss) in transmission lines of a power system. This is mathematically stated as follows. WC= h ∑ dl ploss,l (1)
Where, (Ploss) , denotes the network real power loss during the period of load level 1. It can be can be expressed in the following equation in the[6] duration dl:
Ploss = ∑������ + �� − 2���� ���� (2)
The second term represents the cost of Reactive Power source installments which has two components, namely, fixed installment cost and purchase cost:
��= ∑��� + ���|���|� (3)
The goal meaning can be expressed as follows:

4.FVSI FORMULATION The Fast Voltage Stability Index is resulting from the voltage quadratic equation at the receiving bus on a two-bus system [12,14,15]. The general 2-bus representation is illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1.Model of Two bus system
From the figure, the voltage quadratic equation at the receiving bus is written as
���-=>? sinδ + cosδB �C��+DE + >F? GQ2 = 0 (7)
set the equation of discriminator be larger than or equal to zero yields
D=>? sinδ+ cosδB �CG�- 4DE + >F
? GQ2 ≥ 0 (8)
Rearranging (2), we obtain

since“i”as the sending bus and “j” as the receiving end bus,Since δ is normally very small, then, δ≈0, R Sinδ ≈0 and X receiving bus, Fast Voltage Stabilty Index (FVSI) can be calculated
FVSIij=HOF.P+QF?
(10)
Where ,Z,X are the Impedance and reactance of the line.Where as Qj ,V are the Reactive power at the receiving end and the sending end voltage.

7. Obtain the voltage at the maximum computable FVSI prior to the divergence of the Load flow .It can be obtained from step 3.This determines the critical Voltage of a Particular bus. 8. Take out the maximum Qj loading for the maximum calculable FVSI for all test bus. It can be obtained from 5.The greatest VAr loading is referred to as the most loadability of a Particular bus. 9. Sort the greatest loadability obtained from step 8 in ascending order and the least loadability maximum is ranked the utmost imply the Weakest bus in the system. 10.Select the feeble buses as the reactive power installation site for the Reactive Power Planning .
5.DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION (DE) Differential Evolution is first proposed over 1994-1996 by Storn and Price at Berkeley. Differential evolution (DE) is a population based and parallel search algorithm that operate on the
populations of the possible solution vectors { G
iX : i=1,2,3………,Np} at each generation G
[8,10.11]. Each individual element of the solution vector is composed of D-parameters, namely G
iX := G
jix , : j= 1,2…… D. Various steps in DE are mutation, crossover and selection. The outline
of the DE algorithm is as follows: 1. Initialize the population:
G
jix , = xL

U
ij xxR − , j= 1,2……D where L
jx and U
jx are the lower And upper bounds of
the parameter j respectively, and Rj is a random number ,uniformly distributed between [0,1]. 2. Evaluate the population using an objective function. 3. Generate a new population where each new vector is created according to:
(a) Generate a trial vector G

8.CONCLUSION FVSI based approach has been developed for solving the weak bus oriented RPP problem. Based on FVSI, the locations of reactive power devices for voltage control are determined. The individual greatest loadability obtained from the load buses will be sorted in rising order with the least value being ranked uppermost The highest rank implies the weakest bus in the system with low sustainable load. These are the possible locations for reactive power devices to maintain
