The objective of reactive sources optimization is to determine a minimum cost expansion plan for guarantees feasible operation both in normal state and under contingency situations. A two-level hierachical approach to the problem has been proposed. The reactive source optimization problem is decomposed into two parts: (1) the investment subproblem, where decisions about the location and size of new VAR sources are made; and (2) the operation subproblem, in which these sources are used to optimize the system operation. The global solution is obtained by the iterative solution of the investment and operation subproblems. This volume describes the development and implementation of the new methodology. Test results with the IEEE 118-bus system illustrating the various capabilities of the approach are discussed. The interactions between reactive sources optimization and transmission system planning are analyzed. 9 refs., 14 figs., 6 tabs.
