1. Introduction

Around the world, electric utilities are undergoing restructuring to transition from a vertically integrated system to a competitive market structure. Markets differ depending on the particular needs of the nation or place. To guarantee the reliability and security of the active power supply into the transmission network, reactive power support is crucial. The primary market sometimes referred to as the active power market, would continue to be a competitive market [1-3]. The voltage security issue is taken into account in the OPF technique and is integrated into the cost-based reactive-power pricing strategy [4,5]. A method for allocating reactive electricity costs in unregulated market places. The reactive power, voltage regulation, and spinning reserve comprise the reactive power supply system [6,7]. In order to properly allocate reactive power load and losses, the reactive power delivered through the capacitance of line charging is treated as a distinct source [8-10].

The data is utilized to compute the generator's and load's contributions for a fair and appropriate cost distribution [11,12]. The common single-slack bus PF method has a flaw (mismatch), which is that the slack bus absorbs all losses [13-16]. When the slack bus and power flow method are used, it is seen that the LMP component for loss varies widely [17-20]. The outcome offers the nominal pricing of the participants along with their ideal timetables. In this model, the bus voltage violations are also eliminated.

2. Recent Research Work: A Brief Review

Numerous studies on improving power quality utilizing various control strategies have been conducted, and some of them were described below.

Ahmadimanesh and Kalantar, [21] have analyzed the significance of the expansion of renewable energy sources, particularly solar power-plants, and then they have looked at how these facilities interact with the market for reactive electricity. Papazoglou et al. [22]have presented a Day-Ahead Local Flexibility Market in Distribution Network by utilizing a new Successive LP technique for Optimum PF in Distribution Network. Khoshjahan and Kezunovic [23] have suggested a bidding strategy method for distributed prosumers (DP) aggregator participation in the real-time market (RTM) for considering flexiramp and energy. A new pool-based energy market platform created by Sawwas and Chedid [24] was appropriate for developing nations where electric utilities struggle due to a lack of adequate generation capacity. According to Paladin et al. [25], a micro-energy market based on the widespread use of photovoltaic and battery energy storage devices might be used. An open-source test system created by Battula et al. [26] allowed for the dynamic modeling of central controlled whole-sale power markets running over high-voltage transmission grids. A decomposition-coordination PF method and 2 layers of coordination were created by Dong et al. [27].

2.1. Background of the Research Work

Recent research has shown that employing a distributed slack OQF model for the reactive power market clearing and settlement is a key contributing element. Using a number of relaxation strategies, such as SOCP, moment relaxation approaches and Semi-Definite Programming, Quadratic-Convex (QC) released a convex-relaxation of complete AC optimum power flow (ACOPF) issue with better relaxational gap. As a result, the literature failed to take into account the generation units' limited ability to handle reactive-power, and how it affects the bus voltage and line capacity. Thus, the limitation discussed in the literature has motivated to do this research work.

The objective of the work is to improve a novel market clearing and settlement structure for reactive power in an electricity market. The specific objectives include:

• Designing a DC participant-based distributed slack Optimal Power Flow (OQF) model:

• Implementing a market clearing mechanism: Develop a mechanism for efficiently clearing the reactive power market, taking into account factors such as supply-demand dynamics, network constraints, and participant preferences.

• Establishing a settlement framework: Design a framework for settling transactions and payments in the reactive power market.

• Evaluating the performance and effectiveness of the proposed model: Assess the performance and effectiveness of the developed DC participant-based distributed slack OQF model and the associated market clearing and settlement framework.

Based on the provided excerpts from the existing literature, here are some potential gaps or limitations that could be highlighted:

1. Limited focus on reactive power market clearing and settlement: While the mentioned studies discuss various aspects of energy markets and flexibility, there seems to be a gap in the literature specifically addressing the market clearing and settlement mechanisms for reactive power.

2. Lack of consideration for DC participant-based distributed slack OQF model: The existing literature does not appear to explore the use of a DC participant-based distributed slack OQF model for reactive power market clearing and settlement.

3. Limite78d analysis of probabilistic configurations and stochastic nature of solar irradiation: While some studies consider solar power plants and their interaction with the reactive power market, there may be a gap in addressing the probabilistic and stochastic aspects of solar irradiation.

4. Insufficient emphasis on the impact of distributed prosumers and smart home energy trading: The existing literature briefly mentions the participation of distributed prosumers and the use of micro-energy markets, but there may be a lack of in-depth analysis on how these factors affect reactive power market operations and settlement.

3. Market Center (A Unique Reference Point)

It is proposed that the Market Center Concept serve as a special point of delivery or withdrawal for Q assistance. In sections 3.1 and 3.2, it is described and improved by including the load and generating center. The idea of a market-center is put forth in order to transparently divide the full transmission loss among DISCO and GENCO members in pure P-markets by utilizing the average-loss-factor technique [28-30].

3.1. GENCO Participant Incremental Loss Coefficients Referred to Load Center

The GENCO participant's reactive power-injection of balance eqn is expressed below:

(1)
$ E_{gt} (\underline{Y})=e_{gt} (\underline{V}^{'})-(Qr_{t} +\beta _{gt} \phi/2)= 0;\nonumber\\ t=1,~2,~...,~\text{nog}. $

The equation for the reactive-power withdrawal balance for DISCO participants is expressed below:

(2)
$ E_{dt} (\underline{Y})=e_{dt} (\underline{V}^{'})-(Qr_{dt} -\beta _{dt} \phi/2)=0;\nonumber\\ t=(\text{nog}+1),~(\text{nog}+2),~...,~\text{nod}0. $

The reactive power market clearing and settlement using DCParticipant based distributed slack OQF model is a comprehensive framework designed to optimize and facilitate the market clearing and settlement process for reactive power in power systems with DC participants. Here is an overview of the benefits of this model: The model specifically considers the participation of DC-connected devices, such as converters or generators, in the reactive power market. By incorporating their characteristics and capabilities, the model provides a more accurate representation of the reactive power dynamics in the system. It utilizes a distributed slack optimization approach, which enables efficient coordination and optimization of reactive power transactions among market participants. This approach ensures that reactive power resources are optimally allocated while respecting the constraints and limitations of the power system. It facilitates the market clearing and settlement process by determining the optimal allocation of reactive power resources among participants. It considers participant bids, system constraints, and market rules to ensure fair and efficient market outcomes. The model takes into account the influence of reactive power transactions on system stability and voltage control. Optimizing reactive power flows helps maintain voltage levels within acceptable limits and enhances the overall stability of the power system. Also promotes transparency and market efficiency by providing participants with accurate and timely information on market clearing prices, transaction details, and settlement processes. This transparency encourages fair competition, improves market liquidity, and facilitates efficient resource allocation. Fig. 1 shows that the Load center (LF of bus generation).

(3)
$ \sum _{t=1}^{{\rm nog}}e_{gt} (\underline{V}) - \sum _{t=({\rm nog}+1)}^{{\rm nod}}e_{dt} (\underline{V})\nonumber\\ = \sum _{t=1}^{{\rm nog}}{Qr}_{gt}-\sum _{t=({\rm ng}+1)}^{{\rm nod}}{Qr}_{dt} +\phi. $

Fig. 1. Load center (LF of bus generation).

../../Resources/ieie/IEIESPC.2025.14.4.557/fig1.png

The model is designed to handle power systems of varying sizes and complexity. It can accommodate a large number of participants, diverse system configurations, and changing market conditions. Its scalability and flexibility make it suitable for different applications and system scenarios. It incorporates market rules, regulations, and constraints to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and market design principles. It considers factors such as market power mitigation, congestion management, and participant behavior to maintain a fair and competitive market environment.

The net power-injection in every bus is added to determine the transmission loss, which is then determined by Eq. (3). This is obtained by subtracting Eq. (2) from Eq. (1), as shown below.

3.2. DISCO Participant Incremental loss coefficients Referred to Generation Center

The incremental transmission loss factor of demand at bus $t$, or INTLd$_t$, is the amount of additional generation required to meet an increase in demand at bus $t$ when all other demands remain constant and the additional generation is equal to (1 MVAr - loss linked with an increase in 1 MVAr generation at bus $t$). When assessing INTLdt, the generation center is taken into account. The loss is therefore overestimated by these incremental loss coefficients [31,32]. Therefore, using the normalisation factor NoFd from the equation, the normalised coefficients are displayed below in Eq. (4).

(4)
$ {\rm NoF}_{{d}} =\frac{Qr_{{\rm loss}} }{\sum _{t=({\rm nog}+1)}^{{\rm nod}}Qr_{dt} {\rm INTLd}_{t} } $

Fig. 2 depicts a similar radial-line connecting each bus-demand to the generation-center, and the length of each line is precisely proportional to the corresponding extra loss-factor.

Fig. 2. Generation center (LF of bus demand).

../../Resources/ieie/IEIESPC.2025.14.4.557/fig2.png

To address this, we have provided more detailed explanations and to ensure that the objectives and scope of the study and methodologies are clearly stated in the DC Participant Based Distributed Slack OQF Model. The model may aim to develop a mechanism for effectively clearing and settling reactive power transactions in a power system with DC participants. This involves determining optimal reactive power flows, prices, and allocations to ensure efficient utilization of reactive power resources. Incorporating the participation of DC participants in the reactive power market, such as DC generators or converters, also involves considering their unique characteristics, capabilities, and impact on system voltages and power flows. It aims to distribute the responsibility of reactive power provision and consumption among market participants rather than relying on a centralized entity. This distributed approach allows for flexibility, resilience, and the potential for innovation in reactive power management. To develop mechanisms or rules to prevent unfair pricing, manipulation of reactive power flows, or other market distortions.

3.3. Method for OQF Algorithm

Step 1 Read the maximal count of repetitions (N${}_{max}$), bus-data, mis-match tolerance( ${\rm \varepsilon }_{{\rm Q}} $), line-data, transformer-data, DISCO, GENCO, and bus-data.

Step 2 To find the optimal timetable [QrG], run a single-sided auction market using the supply offer curve of aggregation for a lossless system.

Step 3To ascertain the bus voltage magnitude, run the PBDSOQF Method by using the optimum bus generation schedule [QrG].

Step 4 Determine the GENCO and DISCO loss factors using the bus voltages found in Step 3 as a starting point.

Step 5 Run the PBDSOQF described in equations (40) to (43) to retrieve the decision variables [QrG] if any of the bus voltages are out of bounds.

Step 6The bus generation schedules obtained in step five should be used to run the participant-based distributed-slack reactive power flow method.

Step 7 If the bus-voltage is out of compliance Move to step 5; else to 8.

Step 8 It is best to print the bus-voltage and GENCO schedules.

Step 9 Execute market clearing and settlement after obtaining PBPCQrg and PBPQrd from each bus.

Step 10 Ends

4. Proposed HBA Approach

The metaheuristic optimization method known as the Honey Badger Algorithm depends on the honey badger's (HBs) clever foraging technique. The development of HBA's exploration and exploitation stages is inspired by the dynamic search behavior of HB using honey seeking and digging techniques [33,34]. The following list outlines the HBA procedure in depth:

Step 1 (Initialization):Initializing the count of HBs, which is population positions and size. In this manuscript, the initialized parameters, such as voltage and current are initialized by,

(5)
$ X_{I} =L_{BI} +R_{1} \times \left(U_{BI} -L_{BI} \right) , $

where upper and lesser bounds of search domain as$U_{BI} $, $L_{BI} $, random number implies $R_{1} $, solution in the population of $n$ implies $X_{I} $.

Step 2 (Random generation):The initialized populations are produced at random using the random generation outlined by

(6)
$ F_{i} =\left[\!\!\begin{array}{cccc} {(V,I)_{i} {}^{11} } & {(V,I)_{i} {}^{12} } & {\cdots } & {(V,I)_{i} {}^{1n} } \\ {(V,I)_{i} {}^{21} } & {(V,I)_{i} {}^{22} } & {\cdots } & {(V,I)_{i} {}^{2n} } \\ {\vdots } & {\vdots } & {\vdots } & {\vdots } \\ {(V,I)_{i} {}^{m1} } & {(V,I)_{i} {}^{m2} } & {\cdots } & {(V,I)_{i} {}^{mn} } \end{array}]!]!\right]. $

Step 3 (Fitness calculation):The fitness is determined by the objective function and is defined as

(7)
$ F=Ob=Min\left\{error\right\} . $

Step 4 (Define intensity):Determine the solution's intensity depending on prey strength and distance between them. It is defined as follows:

(8)
$ Intensity_{I} =R_{2} \times \frac{s}{4\pi d_{I}^{2} }m $
(9)
$ s=\left(X_{I} -X_{I+1} \right)^{2}, $
(10)
$ D_{I} =\left(X_{PREY} -X_{I} \right). $

Here, intencity of the prey as $Intensity_{I} $,concentration strength as $s$, distance amid prey and $i$th badger as$D_{I} $.

Step 5 (Density factor updating):The density factor ($\alpha$) is used to maintain a seamless transition from exploration to exploitation. As a result, it is characterized as follows:

(11)
$ \beta =e\times \exp \left(\frac{-t}{t^{MAX} } \right) , $

where, maximal count of iteration as$t^{MAX} $, constant as$e$ i.e, $e\ge 1$.

Step 6 (Escaping from local optimum):This step is used to avoid the local search, and flag $F$ is used to avoid the local optimum value.

Step 7 (Updating the agents' positions):To update the location, two steps are used: digging and honey phase.

Step 7.1 (Digging phase):The updating is executed below,

(12)
$ X_{NEW} =X_{PREY} +F\times \alpha \times i\times X_{PREY} \nonumber\\ \quad + F\times R_{3} \times \beta \times D_{I} \nonumber\\ \quad \times \left[\cos \left(2\pi R_{4} \right)\times \left(1-\cos \left(2\pi R_{5} \right)\right)\right]. $

Step 7.2 (Honey phase):The updating is executed below

(13)
$ X_{NEW} =X_{PREY} +F\times R_{7} \times \beta \times D_{I} . $

Step 8 (Phases of exploitation and exploration):The exploration and exploitation is executed below

(14)
$ Explor\, \% =\frac{div^{'} }{Max\, (Div)} \times 100 , $
(15)
$ Exploit\, \% =\frac{\left|div^{'} -Max\left(div^{'} \right)\right|}{Max\, (Div)} \times 100. $

Step 9 (Stopping criteria):Verify the stopping criteria, If the criterion is satisfied, the ideal result is attained; otherwise, the procedure is repeated [35]. Fig. 3 depicts a flowchart of the HSA technique.

Fig. 3. Flowchart of HBA approach.

../../Resources/ieie/IEIESPC.2025.14.4.557/fig3.png

The integration of the Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) is based on the market clearing and settlement in the Reactive Power Market. Using DC Participant Based Distributed Slack OQF Model can bring several potential benefits. Here is an overview of how the HBA can enhance the model: The HBA is known for its ability to handle complex optimization problems. By incorporating this algorithm into the model, it can improve the optimization process for market clearing and settlement. The HBA's ability to handle non-linear, non-convex, and multi-objective optimization problems can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of the model's reactive power optimization. It is designed to handle uncertainties and noise in the optimization process. In the context of reactive power market clearing and settlement, this can be valuable in dealing with uncertainties related to participant behavior, demand fluctuations, or renewable energy generation. The HBA's robustness can help ensure reliable and stable market outcomes. This can be advantageous in the context of reactive power market clearing and settlement, where the number of participants and the complexity of the power system can be significant. The HBA's scalability can enable the model to handle larger systems and a larger number of participants effectively. The HBA is designed to converge quickly to near-optimal solutions. This can reduce the computational time required for market clearing and settlement, allowing for faster decision-making and timelier market outcomes.

Fig. 12 displays Variations in LMPs for every bus obtained using the proposed. Figs. 13(a) and 13(b) illustrate the locational marginal pricing of load bus and actual power transferred from bus 2 to 3 by line 2. Congestion effects on reactive power flow are depicted in Fig. 14(a). The actual power passing through line two lessens during peak hours to maintain the constraints of the line in Fig. 14(b). The reactive power flow by line two raises under the peak-hours to keep the voltage magnitude of load-bus is depicted in Fig. 15. Fig. 16 displays the LMP of load bus over a 24-hour period when various percentages of loads are shift-able as depicted in Fig. 16(a). Bus LMP is higher for hours 19-21 when 10% of the load is shiftable compared to 20% of the load. Fig. 17 compares the results of the proposed strategic bidding method for three alternative situations: (1) with enforced ramping limits (ERL), (2) with ERL and shift-able loads (ERLWSL), (3) non-ERL in Fig. 17(a), as units work at their fullest capacity during these times. However, as illustrated in Fig. 17(b), the load shifting reduced the negative effects of enforcing ramp limits on LMP. The effects of reactive power support constraints are shown in Fig. 18.

6. Conclusion

The contribution of the study is the construction of a novel Participant Distributed Slack Reactive Optimal Reactive Power Flow approach for the market clearing and settlement of Single Sided Auction Market. In this method, the equality requirements are voltage magnitude at buses, and the inequality constraints are a single power balance equation, which balances the power supplied by all GENCOs at the market centre and the power taken by all DISCOs at the market centre. With the help of this model, it determines each participant's ideal schedule and nodal pricing. In this model, the bus voltage violations are also eliminated. For quick convergence, the PBDSOQF model is suggested. The aim of the study ``reactive power market clearing and settlement using DC participant based distributed slack OQF model'' is to develop and evaluate a novel method for market clearing and settlement in the Reactive Power Market. The study aims to introduce the DC Participant Based Distributed Slack OQF model as a solution for efficiently managing and allocating reactive power resources in the market. The specific objectives of the study may include optimizing reactive power flow, ensuring voltage magnitude requirements are met, achieving power balance, and providing fair and equal treatment to all participants. All participants will be treated fairly and equally by this approach. On the Radial 5, Ward and Hale six, and IEEE-30 Bus-System, the proposed PBDSOQF model.
