By using a concept of the penalty method [9], the
constrained optimization problem is transformed into an
unconstrained optimization problem in which the penalty
function as described above is minimized.
B. Objective Function
In general, the power transmission loss function is typically
set as the objective function. The power transmission loss can
be expressed as follows.

C. System Constraints
The system constraints for the reactive power flow
problems are controlled voltage magnitude, reactive power
injection from reactive power sources and transformer tapping.
The objective use herein is to minimize the power
transmission loss function by optimizing the control variables
within their limits [9]-[10]. Therefore, no violation on other
quantities (e.g. MVA flow of transmission lines, load bus
voltage magnitude, generator Mvar) occurs in normal system
operating conditions. These are system constraints to be
formed as equality and inequality constraints as shown below.

V. SIMULATION RESULTS
In this paper, a simple three-bus power system as shown in
Fig. 6 was used for test. Table I gave the test system
parameters. The simulations were performed using MATLAB
software [11]-[12]. The test was carried out by solving the
optimal power flow problem of the power loss objective. Each
power flow solution was sent to command the STATCOM
controller as described earlier. For comparison, the rated value
of voltage magnitude at the point coupling connection was
regulated. Each method was challenged by solving a given
optimal power flow problem of one day period. Daily load for
the test system was presented in Table II.

voltage regulation at daily load for base case, when the system
is operated with no STATCOM .It has the voltage sag at load
point of time period. We have installed STATCOM, the
voltage are regulated 10% at 22 kV of distribution voltage.
The base case has the big voltage sag in 2-9 time period but
after we installed the STATCOM, the voltage is reduced. So,
that the load voltage is regulated around voltage reference.

All day operation of the three test cases showed that the
reactive command using the optimal reactive power flow
solution gives the best performance which is the lowest oneday energy losses. The all day power losses of each case can
be presented in Table III for comparison. The base case
gave a construable amount of power losses. It was greater
than that of the STATCOM case due to the system voltage
sag. When we installed STATCOM to compensate, It made
low losses. The losses were decrease when we used the
voltage reference on optimal reactive power flow because it
had the less voltage difference.
