Abstract
Optimal reactive power compensation is one of the fundamental issues in the operation of power systems. This paper presents a new improved particle swarm optimization technique called black-hole particle swarm optimization (BHPSO) for optimal reactive power compensation of distribution feeders to avoid premature convergence. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated on a sample test system. The results obtained by the proposed methods are compared with other methods. The results show that the proposed technique is capable of producing comparable results.
