| Abstract | This research develops an improved real and reactive power control technique using linear programming (LP) for an integrated power system. The problem is decomposed into two subproblems comprising real (P) and reactive power (Q) modules, and, using a unified approach, the real power generation, voltage magnitude, and transformer tap settings are optimized. The objective function is the fuel cost of generation, which is minimized in both the P and Q modules, subject to the operating constraints. The P-Q decomposition combined with the LP formulation improves the computation speed. The thesis has another advantage of using the same cost objective function for both modules, unlike other conventional methods, which use the power loss function for the Q module. The LP formulation is used for both the P and Q optimization modules, utilizing the revised simplex method |
