A new technique is developed for solving the voltampere reactive (VAR) compensation problem under uncertain operating conditions. The technique employs chance-constrained programming (CCP), and transforms the problem into a standard linear programming problem. In providing optimal allocation of VAR support, busbars with unacceptably high probability of violating voltage limits are identified and assigned appropriate chance-constraints. Two cases are considered using the new technique. In the first case, capacitive compensation is evaluated for peak load conditions. Inductive compensation is considered in the second case, assuming light load conditions. The method in its general form can be applied in cases where there is uncertainty with respect to equipment cost and/or the coefficients of the voltage-magnitude/reactive power relationships. Normal distributions are not necessary conditions and, if desired, dependent variates can be assumed. The method has been applied to the AEP 30-busbar test system for both heavy and light load conditions, and sample results are presented in the paper.
