Abstract

This paper proposes Spinner Dolphin Algorithm (SDA) for solving optimal reactive power problem. Echolocation is the genetic sonar used by Spinner dolphin & it used by few kinds of other animals for direction-finding, hunting in diverse environments. This ability of Spinner dolphin is imitated in this paper to develop a new-fangled procedure for solving optimal reactive power problem. Spinner Dolphin Algorithm (SDA) takes reward of the overriding rules and outperforms many vigorous optimization methods. The new-fangled approach SDA leads to exceptional results with small computational efforts. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, it has been tested Standard IEEE 57,118 bus systems and compared to other specified algorithms. Simulation result show that Spinner Dolphin Algorithm (SDA) is advanced to other algorithms in reducing the real power loss and voltage profiles are within the limits.
