1. INTRODUCTION
Optimal reactive power dispatch problem is subject to number of uncertainties and at least in
the best case to uncertainty parameters given in the demand and about the availability equivalent amount of
shunt reactive power compensators. Optimal reactive power dispatch plays a major role for the operation of
power systems, and it should be carried out in a proper manner, such that system reliability is not got
affected. The main objective of the optimal reactive power dispatch is to maintain the level of voltage and
reactive power flow within the specified limits under various operating conditions and network
configurations. By utilizing a number of control tools such as switching of shunt reactive power sources,
changing generator voltages or by adjusting transformer tap-settings the reactive power dispatch can be done.
By doing optimal adjustment of these controls in different levels, the redistribution of the reactive power
would minimize transmission losses. This procedure forms an optimal reactive power dispatch problem and it
has a major influence on secure and economic operation of power systems. Various mathematical techniques
like the gradient method Alsac et al . Lee et al and linear programming mangoli et al [1-7] have been adopted
to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch problem. Both the gradient and Newton methods has the
difficulty in handling inequality constraints. If linear programming is applied then the input- output function
has to be expressed as a set of linear functions which mostly lead to loss of accuracy. This paper formulates
by combining both the real power loss minimization and maximization of static voltage stability margin
(SVSM) as the objectives. Global optimization has received extensive research attention, and a great number

of methods have been applied to solve this problem. Many Evolutionary algorithms Aparajita Mukherjee
et al., Hu et al., Mahaletchumi et al., Sulaiman et al., Pandiarajan et al.,have been already proposed to solve
the reactive power flow problem. This paper presents Passerine Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSOA) for
solving optimal reactive power dispatch problem. This algorithm is based on behaviour of social
communications of Passerine bird Anderson et al., Barnard et al., Beauchamp et al., Bednekoff et al., Coolen
et al. [8-13]. Basically Passerine bird has three common behaviours: search behaviour, adherence behaviour
and expedition behaviour. Through the shared communications Passerine bird will search for the food and
also run away from hunters [14-20]. By using the Passerine bird communications and behaviour, five basic
rules have been created in the PSOA approach to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch problem. Key
aspect is to reduce the real power loss and also to keep the variables within the limits. Proposed Passerine
Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSOA) has been tested in standard IEEE 30 bus test system and simulations
results reveal about the better performance of the proposed algorithm in reducing the real power loss and
enhancing the static voltage stability margin.

4. PASSERINE BIRD SWARM HYPOTHESIS
The Passerine bird Figure 1 social behavior’s can be written as follows:
a) Rule 1. Every Passerine bird has choice to alter between the adherence behaviour and search behaviour.
Whether the Passerine bird searches or in observance, it is molded as a stochastic decision.
b) Rule 2. While search, each Passerine bird can promptly record and renovate its previous most outstanding
experience and the swarms’ previous most outstanding experience about food area. This information has
been used to discover food. Social information is shared rapidly among the whole swarm.
c) Rule 3. During adherence, every Passerine will attempt to move near to the centre of the swarm.
This behaviour can be embroidered by the interference tempted by the rivalry among swarm. The Passerine
with the uppermost reserves would be more prone to lie nearer to the centre of the swarm.
d) Rule 4. While flying Passerine may often change between generating and sponging. The Passerine with
the uppermost reserves would be a creator, while the one with the bottom most reserves would be
a sponger. Passerine have reserves between the uppermost and bottom most reserves would randomly
choose to be creator and sponger.
e) Rule 5. Creators with desire search for food. Spongers would randomly follow a creator to search for food.
By the above Rules the mathematical model for the problem has been developed,
All N virtual Passerine bird, portrayed by their position Z_t^i (i∈[1...,N]) at time step t, search for
food and fly in an organized space.

Figure 1. Passerine bird
4.1. Search behaviour
Every Passerine will search for food according to its experience. Rule 2 can be written in (24)
as follows,
𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡+1
= 𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡
+ (𝑘𝑖,𝑗 − 𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡
) × 𝑀 × 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑(0,1) + (𝑙𝑗 − 𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡
) × 𝑁 × 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑(0,1) (24)
Where𝑗 ∈ [1, . . , 𝐶], rand (0, 1) denotes independent uniformly distributed numbers in (0, 1).
M and N are two positive numbers, which can be respectively called as cognitive and social
accelerated coefficients.𝑘𝑖,𝑗is the best preceding position of the ith passerine and 𝑙𝑗is the most excellent
preceding position shared by the swarm.
The Rule 1 can be defined as a stochastic decision. If a uniform arbitrary number in (0, 1) is smaller than,
𝐾(𝐾 ∈ (0,1))a constant value, the Passerine would search for food. Otherwise, the passerine would carry
on observance.
4.2. Adherence behaviour
Rule 3 indicates that passerine would try to move nearthe Centre of the swarm, and they would
inevitably contend with each other. Thus, each Passerine cannot directly move towards the Centre
of the swarm. This drive can be written as follows:
𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡+1
= 𝑍 + 𝐹1(𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑣 − 𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡
) × 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑(0,1) + 𝐹2(𝐾𝑘,𝑗 − 𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡
) × 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑(−1,1) (25)
𝐹1 = 𝑓1 × 𝑒𝑥𝑝 (−
𝑘𝑓𝑖𝑡 𝑖
𝑠𝑢𝑚𝐹𝑖𝑡+𝜀
× 𝑁) (26)
𝐹2 = 𝑓2 × 𝑒𝑥𝑝 ((
𝑘𝐹𝑖𝑡 𝑖−𝑘𝐹𝑖𝑡 𝑟
|𝑘𝐹𝑖𝑡 𝑟−𝑘𝐹𝑖𝑡 𝑖|+𝜀
)
𝑁×𝑘𝐹𝑖𝑡 𝑟
𝑠𝑢𝑚𝐹𝑖𝑡+𝜀
) (27)
Where 𝑘(𝑘 ≠ 1)is a positive integer, which is illogically chosen between 1 and N. f1 and f2 are two
positive constants in [0, 2], 𝑘𝐹𝑖𝑡𝑖denotes the ith passerine best fitness value and sumFit represents the sum of
the swarms’ best fitness value. 1, which is used to keep away from zero-division error, 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑣 denotes the jth
element of the average position of the whole swarm. When a Passerine move near the Centre of the swarm, it
will unavoidably compete with each other. The average fitness value of the swarm is measured by
the surrounding swarm when a Passerine move to the Centre of the swarm. Each Passerine always wants to
position at the Centre of swarm, the product of F1 and rand (0, 1) should not be more than 1. Here, F2 is used
to create the direct effect persuaded by interference when a Passerine move to the Centre of the swarm.
If the most outstanding fitness value of a random kth Passerine (k – i) is greater than that of the ith Passerine,
then F2, f2 which means that the ith may bear Passerine a greater interference than the kth Passerine.
The kth Passerine would be move near the centre of the swarm than the ith passerine.

4.3. Expedition behaviour
Passerine may fly to other areas due to countless reasons. When the Passerine arrived at an
innovative site, they would again search for food. Some Passerine as creators would search for food patches,
while other Passerine try to feed from the food patch found by the creators. By the Rule 4 the creators and
spongers can be detached from the swarm. The behaviors of the creators and spongers can be written
as follows:
𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡+1
= 𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡
+ 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑛(0,1) × 𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡
(28)
𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡+1
= 𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡
+ (𝑍 𝑘,𝑗
𝑡
− 𝑍𝑖,𝑗
𝑡
) × 𝐺𝐻 × 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑(0,1) (29)
Where 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑛(0,1) denotes Gaussian distributed arbitrary number with mean zero and standard
deviation 1, 𝑘 ∈ [1,2,3, . . , 𝑁], 𝑘 ≠ 𝑖. 𝐺𝐻(𝐺𝐻 ∈ [0,2])means that the sponger would follow the creator to
search for food. We assume that each Passerine fly to alternative place every GH (positive integer)
unit interval.

5. SIMULATION RESULTS
The efficiency of the proposed Passerine Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSOA) method is
demonstrated by testing it on standard IEEE-30 bus system. The IEEE-30 bus system has 6 generator buses,
24 load buses and 41 transmission lines of which four branches are (6-9), (6-10) , (4-12) and (28-27) - are
with the tap setting transformers. The lower voltage magnitude limits at all buses are 0.95 p.u. and the upper
limits are 1.1 for all the PV buses and 1.05 p.u. for all the PQ buses and the reference bus. The simulation
results have been presented in Tables 1, Table 2, Table 3 & Table 4. The Table 5 shows the proposed
algorithm powerfully reduces the real power losses when compared to other given algorithms. The optimal
values of the control variables along with the minimum loss obtained are given in Table 1. Corresponding to
this control variable setting, it was found that there are no limit violations in any of the state variables.
Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch problem together with voltage stability constraint problem was
handled in this case as a multi-objective optimization problem where both power loss and maximum voltage

107
stability margin of the system were optimized simultaneously. Table 2 indicates the optimal values of these
control variables. Also it is found that there are no limit violations of the state variables. It indicates
the voltage stability index has increased from 0.2452 to 0.2466, an advance in the system voltage stability.
To determine the voltage security of the system, contingency analysis was conducted using the control
variable setting obtained in case 1 and case 2. The Eigen values equivalents to the four critical contingencies
are given in Table 3. From this result it is observed that the Eigen value has been improved considerably for
all contingencies in the second case.
