Abstract : The rapid increase in load demand requires a proper planning process in order to meet the expected demand. However, reactive power planning (RPP) is one of the main aspects in planning stage. The lack of sufficient reactive power supply in a power system will lead to voltage instability and in some worst conditions will cause blackouts. The reactive power requirements have to be optimized in type, size and location. Sources of reactive power can be fixed capacitors/reactors, manually-controlled or dynamic controlled equipments to cover the requirements during steady state and dynamic situations. Genetic Algorithm (GA) will be used as an optimization tool to determine the steady state requirements. GA will optimize the problem to achieve objective functions subjected to certain constrains. The dynamic requirements will be determined in guidance of the sensitivity matrix. Some buses will be candidates to install Static VAR Compensation (SVC) by the sensitivity matrix. The contribution of this work is to rank the substations to accommodate the SVC according to influence of injecting reactive power by using sensitivity matrix. Simulations using PSS/E software has been conducted on IEEE test systems to compare the system performance with the suggested reactive power sources. A real-life practical power system is used as a case study.
