Abstract :This paper presents a solution technique for the optimal reactive power flow insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ORPF); of alternating current-direct current insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AC-DC); power systems using the artificial bee colony insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ABC); algorithm. A high voltage direct current insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HVDC); transmission link is one of the most important network components in AC-DC power systems. In recent years there has been an increasing number of studies related to power systems with HVDC transmission links. One of them is the reactive power flow insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RPF); optimization. The aim of ORPF in alternating current insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AC); or AC-DC power systems is to minimize transmission line power loss under equality and inequality constraints. The relationships related to the HVDC link are incorporated into AC power system equations considering its power transfer characteristics. This paper contributes to the solution of the problem by using the ABC algorithm for the first time. The proposed method is examined on three test systems and its effectiveness in these kinds of applications is shown by the comparative results.Keywords : Optimal reactive power flow, HVDC system, ABC algorithm
