Automatic Voltage Regulator Control Simulation Analysis using Differential Evolution Algorithm

Abstract

The focus of this research was to determine whether and how distributed generation (DGs) could help with voltage control (VC) in medium voltage distribution grids through reactive power generation and absorption. The control technique was described using the optimal power flow problem, with a focus on voltage control. DGs are used in this work to simulate voltage control with the intention of minimizing active power loss while improving the network voltage profile. This study employs a Differential Evolution (DE) approach to determine the optimal solution with benefits and potential potency and introspective acumen. The effectiveness of the optimizer is analyzed, and its superiority over Genetic algorithm (GA) is illustrated using substantial statistical analysis. In this study, the IEEE 33-bus is used as a test system.
