Abstract :
This paper proposes the use of the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to reconfigure a High Voltage Direct Current transmission system in order to reduce losses. The transmission system consists of several offshore wind farms that generate energy which is sent to the grid through several HVDC transmission lines. The proposed algorithm modify the interconnection between the lines with the purpose of reduce the power losses in the lines.
