Secure and economical operation of distribution networks needs the management of reactive power resources. Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) optimally manages the reactive power scheduling of generators and distribution generations as well as the Reactive Power Compensation (RPC) devices. This paper investigates the effect of load models on the multi-objective ORPD problem in active distribution networks. Moreover, a modified Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), which is called in this paper as Civilized GWO (CGWO), is introduced to solve the ORPD problem. The proposed strategy including multi-objective function, various load models, DG’s reactive power, RPCs and the introduced CGWO, is tested on standard IEEE 33- and 69-bus distribution systems. The obtained results indicate the load models have significant impact on the cost function amount. Moreover, the performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using ten standard benchmark functions. The optimization results demonstrate the robustness of the introduced optimization algorithm and its ability in finding the better solutions compared to the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Exchange Market Algorithm (EMA), and original GWO.

the main challenge in associate islanded Micro grid (MG) is the frequency stability due to the inherent low-inertia feature of distributed energy resources. That is why, energy storage devices, are utilized in MGs as the promising sources for grid short-term frequency regulation. Though energy storage devices, improve the dynamic response of the load frequency control system, these devices increase system costs. Moreover, the modification or uncertainty of the system parameters will significantly degrade the performance of the conventional load-frequency control system. This article proposes the implementation of rotating-mass-based virtual inertia in Double-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) to support the primary frequency control associated an adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controller, as the secondary frequency control. The simulation results illustrate that the suggested control scheme ameliorate the dynamic response and performance of the load frequency control system and also the studied islanded MG remains stable, despite severe load variation and parametric uncertainties.
