Abstract:Reactive power optimization is the basic means to ensure the safety,economic and reliable operation of power grid. The general method is to apply intelligent optimization algorithm to determine the reactive power equipment switching scheme. Therefore,differential evolution algorithm is introduced to study the reactive power optimization of distribution network with wind power generators. In order to consider the randomness of wind power generators,a multi - objective reactive power optimization model that is based on scenario analysis is established in the all scene. This model is composed of active network loss,static voltage stability and investment cost of reactive compensation. Aiming to overcome the drawbacks of traditional differential evolution algorithm,an improved algorithm is proposed,which utilizes the excellent information of the group in evolutionary learning process and simultaneously maintains the population's diversity. The case analysis shows the feasibility and effectiveness of the model and the improved algorithm.
