Abstract :In this paper, a novel optimal reactive power flow solution approach in multi-terminal HVDC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(High Voltage Direct Current); systems is studied. ULTCs’ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(under load tap changer transformers); full equivalent model for the DC converters’ are taken into account in the proposed AC-DC power unlike the similar studies in the literature. Thus, the proposed study provides real accurate results for practical AC-DC applications. Optimal reactive power flow for minimum active power loss is provided by Genetic Algorithm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GA);. For the test of the proposed study, the IEEE 14-bus test system modified to AC-DC system is used in the study. The obtained test results prove that the proposed GA based optimization method is effective to reach the global optimum point of minimum active power loss without dropping to local minimum point through satisfying system constraints.
