Summary: | The problem of the optimal placement and sizing of dynamic reactive power compensators in AC distribution networks is addressed in this paper from convex optimization. The exact mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is transformed into a mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP) model. The main advantage of the MISOCP formulation is the possibility of finding a global optimum with branch & cut combined with interior-point method due to the convex structure of the continuous part of the problem, i.e., the multi-period branch optimal power flow. The dynamic reactive power compensators are sized and dimensioned considering daily load curves and variable reactive power injections. Numerical validations are tested in the 33- and 69-bus test feeders using the CVX tool available for MATLAB with the MOSEK solver. These simulations demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the MISOCP approach when compared with the solution of the exact MINLP obtained in the GAMS software. |
