I. INTRODUCTION
Optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem is to minimize the real power loss and bus voltage deviation. Various
mathematical techniques like the gradient method [1-2], Newton method [3] and linear programming [4-7] have been
adopted to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch problem. Both the gradient and Newton methods have the
complexity in managing inequality constraints. If linear programming is applied then the input- output function has to be
uttered as a set of linear functions which mostly lead to loss of accuracy. The problem of voltage stability and collapse
play a major role in power system planning and operation [8]. Global optimization has received extensive research
awareness, and a great number of methods have been applied to solve this problem. Evolutionary algorithms such as
genetic algorithm have been already proposed to solve the reactive power flow problem [9, 10]. Evolutionary algorithm
is a heuristic approach used for minimization problems by utilizing nonlinear and non-differentiable continuous space
functions. In [11], Genetic algorithm has been used to solve optimal reactive power flow problem. In [12], Hybrid
differential evolution algorithm is proposed to improve the voltage stability index. In [13] Biogeography Based algorithm
is projected to solve the reactive power dispatch problem. In [14], a fuzzy based method is used to solve the optimal
reactive power scheduling method. In [15], an improved evolutionary programming is used to solve the optimal reactive
power dispatch problem. In [16], the optimal reactive power flow problem is solved by integrating a genetic algorithm
with a nonlinear interior point method. In [17], a pattern algorithm is used to solve ac-dc optimal reactive power flow
model with the generator capability limits. In [18], F. Capitanescu proposes a two-step approach to evaluate Reactive
power reserves with respect to operating constraints and voltage stability. In [19], a programming based approach is used
to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch problem. In [20], A. Kargarian et al present a probabilistic algorithm for
optimal reactive power provision in hybrid electricity markets with uncertain loads. This paper proposes a new Improved
Bees Algorithm (IBA) to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch problem. The aim of this paper is to solve optimal
reactive power problem by utilizing Bees Algorithm, introduced by Pham [21], inspired from the natural foraging
behaviour of honey bees. The IBA algorithm performs both an exploitative neighbourhood search combined with
arbitrary explorative search. The proposed algorithm IBA has been evaluated in standard IEEE 57 bus test system and
the simulation results show that our proposed approach outperforms all the entitled reported algorithms in minimization
of real power loss.

II. PROBLEM FORMULATION
The optimal power flow problem is treated as a general minimization problem with constraints, and can be
mathematically written in the following form:
Minimize f(x, u) (1)
subject to g(x,u)=0 (2)
and
h(x, u) ≤ 0 (3)
where f(x,u) is the objective function. g(x.u) and h(x,u) are respectively the set of equality and inequality constraints. x is
the vector of state variables, and u is the vector of control variables.
The state variables are the load buses (PQ buses) voltages, angles, the generator reactive powers and the slack active
generator power:
x = Pg1, θ2, . . , θN, VL1, . , VLNL , Qg1, . . , Qgng
T
(4)
The control variables are the generator bus voltages, the shunt capacitors/reactors and the transformers tap-settings:
u = Vg, T, Qc
T
(5)
or
u = Vg1, … , Vgng , T1, . . , TNt , Qc1, . . , QcNc
T
(6)
Where ng, nt and nc are the number of generators, number of tap transformers and the number of shunt compensators
respectively.
III. OBJECTIVE FUNCTION
A. Active power loss
The objective of the reactive power dispatch is to minimize the active power loss in the transmission network, which can
be described as follows:
𝐹 = 𝑃𝐿 = 𝑔 𝑘𝑘∈𝑁𝑏𝑟 𝑉𝑖
2
+ 𝑉𝑗
2
− 2𝑉𝑖 𝑉𝑗 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃𝑖𝑗 (7)
Or
𝐹 = 𝑃𝐿 = 𝑃𝑔𝑖 − 𝑃𝑑 = 𝑃𝑔𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘 + 𝑃𝑔𝑖 − 𝑃𝑑
𝑁𝑔
𝑖≠𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑖∈𝑁𝑔 (8)
where gk : is the conductance of branch between nodes i and j, Nbr: is the total number of transmission lines in power
systems. Pd: is the total active power demand, Pgi: is the generator active power of unit i, and Pgsalck: is the generator
active power of slack bus.
B. Voltage profile improvement
For minimizing the voltage deviation in PQ buses, the objective function becomes:
𝐹 = 𝑃𝐿 + 𝜔 𝑣 × 𝑉𝐷 (9)
where ωv: is a weighting factor of voltage deviation.
VD is the voltage deviation given by:

Paper Publications
𝑉𝐷 = 𝑉𝑖 − 1
𝑁𝑝𝑞
𝑖=1 (10)
C. Equality Constraint
The equality constraint g(x,u) of the ORPD problem is represented by the power balance equation, where the total power
generation must cover the total power demand and the power losses:
𝑃𝐺 = 𝑃𝐷 + 𝑃𝐿 (11)
This equation is solved by running Newton Raphson load flow method, by calculating the active power of slack bus to
determine active power loss.
D. Inequality Constraints
The inequality constraints h(x,u) reflect the limits on components in the power system as well as the limits created to
ensure system security. Upper and lower bounds on the active power of slack bus, and reactive power of generators:
𝑃𝑔𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘
𝑚𝑖𝑛
≤ 𝑃𝑔𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘 ≤ 𝑃𝑔𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘
𝑚𝑎𝑥
(12)
𝑄 𝑔𝑖
𝑚𝑖𝑛
≤ 𝑄 𝑔𝑖 ≤ 𝑄 𝑔𝑖
𝑚𝑎𝑥
, 𝑖 ∈ 𝑁𝑔 (13)
Upper and lower bounds on the bus voltage magnitudes:
𝑉𝑖
𝑚𝑖𝑛
≤ 𝑉𝑖 ≤ 𝑉𝑖
𝑚𝑎𝑥
, 𝑖 ∈ 𝑁 (14)
Upper and lower bounds on the transformers tap ratios:
𝑇𝑖
𝑚𝑖𝑛
≤ 𝑇𝑖 ≤ 𝑇𝑖
𝑚𝑎𝑥
, 𝑖 ∈ 𝑁 𝑇 (15)
Upper and lower bounds on the compensators reactive powers:
𝑄𝑐
𝑚𝑖𝑛
≤ 𝑄𝑐 ≤ 𝑄 𝐶
𝑚𝑎𝑥
, 𝑖 ∈ 𝑁𝐶 (16)
Where N is the total number of buses, NT is the total number of Transformers; Nc is the total number of shunt reactive
compensators.
IV. BEHAVIOUR OF HONEY BEES
A colony of honey bees can exploit a huge number of food sources in big fields and they can fly up to 12 km to exploit
food sources [22, 23]. The colony utilize about one-quarter of its members as searcher bees. The foraging process begins
with searching out hopeful flower patches by scout bees. The colony keeps a proportion of the scout bees during the
harvesting season. When the scout bees have found a flower area, they will look further in hope of finding an even
superior one [23]. The scout bees search for the better patches randomly [24]. The scout bees notify their peers waiting in
the hive about the eminence of the food source, based amongst other things, on sugar levels. The scout bees dump their
nectar and go to the dance floor in front of the hive to converse to the other bees by performing their dance, known as the
waggle dance [22]. The waggle dance is named based on the wagging run, which is used by the scout bees to
communicate information about the food source to the rest of the colony. The scout bees present the following
information by means of the waggle dance: the quality of the food source, the distance of the source from the hive and
the direction of the source [23- 25]. Figure 1a,b [25]. The scout then circles back, alternating a left and a right return path
. The speed/duration of the dance indicates the distance to the food source; the frequency of the waggles in the dance and
buzzing convey the quality of the source; see Figure 1c [25]. This information will influence the number of follower
bees.

V. IMPROVED BEES ALGORITHM BY ADAPTIVE NEIGHBOURHOOD SEARCH AND
SITE ABANDONMENT STRATEGY
This segment explains the proposed improvements to the bee‟s algorithm (BA) by applying adaptive transform to the
neighbourhood size and site abandonment approach simultaneously. Collective neighbourhood size change and site
abandonment (NSSA) approach has been attempted on the BA by Koc [26] who found that the convergence rate of a
NSSA-based BA can be sluggish, when the promising locations are far from the current best sites. Here an adaptive
neighbourhood size change and site abandonment (ANSSA) approach is proposed which will keep away from local
minima by changing the neighbourhood size adaptively. The ANSSA-based BA possesses both shrinking and
augmentation strategies according to the fitness evaluation. The primary move is to implement the shrinking approach.
This approach works on a best site after a definite number of repetitions. The approach works until the repetition stops.
If, in spite of the shrinking approach, the number of repetitions still increases for a definite number of iterations, then an
augmentation approach is utilized. Finally, if the number of repetitions still increases for a number of iterations after the
use of the augmentation approach, then that site is abandoned and a new site will be generated. Koc [26] utilized the
following parameter for shrinking the neighbourhood size and site abandonment approach: neighbourhood size = ngh,
the shrinking constant = sc, the abandoned sites = aband_site. In this study four more parameters are introduced. The first
is the number of repetitions for each site, denoted as keep_point. The keep_point records the number of repetitions for all
the repetitive results for best sites. The second parameter is called the “Repetition Number for the shrinking” is denoted
as rep_nshr; the number of shrinking is the number of repetitions necessary to start the shrinking strategy, as given in
Equations (17) and (18). The parameter is the “Repetition Number for the enhancement” is denoted as rep_nenh. This
parameter defines the number of repetitions until the end of the shrinking process, and the beginning of the enhancement
process as shown in Equations (17) and (19) [27,28]. The enhancement process works until the number of the repetitions
is equal to the rep_naban, which denotes the “Repetition Number for the abandonment process”. Hence a non-productive
site is abandoned and it is stored in aband_site list. If there is no better solution than the abandoned site at the end of the
searching process, this is the final solution.

VI. SIMULATION RESULTS
The proposed Improved Bees Algorithm (IBA) algorithm for solving ORPD problem is tested for standard IEEE-57 bus
power system. The IEEE 57-bus system data consists of 80 branches, seven generator-buses and 17 branches under load
tap setting transformer branches. The possible reactive power compensation buses are 18, 25 and 53. Bus 2, 3, 6, 8, 9 and
12 are PV buses and bus 1 is selected as slack-bus. In this case, the search space has 27 dimensions, i.e., the seven
generator voltages, 17 transformer taps, and three capacitor banks. The system variable limits are given in Table I. The
initial conditions for the IEEE-57 bus power system are given as follows:
Pload = 12.310 p.u. Qload = 3.322 p.u.
The total initial generations and power losses are obtained as follows:
𝑃𝐺 = 12.7634 p.u. 𝑄 𝐺 = 3.4468 p.u.
Ploss = 0.27351 p.u. Qloss = -1.2248 p.u.
