ENHANCED MINE BLAST ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING REACTIVE POWER PROBLEM

In this paper Enhanced Mine Blast (EMB) algorithm which based on mine bomb explosion concept is proposed to solve optimal reactive power problem.The clue of the projected Enhanced Mine Blast (EMB) algorithm is based on the examination of a mine bomb explosion, in which the thrown pieces of shrapnel crash with other mine bombs near the explosion area resulting in their explosion. In this paper convergence speed has been enhanced. Proposed Enhanced Mine Blast (EMB) algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 118 & practical 191 bus test systems and simulation results show clearly the superior performance of the projected Enhanced Mine Blast (EMB) algorithm in reducing the real power loss.
