To prevent such an undesirable situation, an innovative improvement procedure is proposed in
Step 5 for adjusting two integers at each time to decrease the fixed costs.
The solution flow chart of the discrete VAR planning is shown in Fig. 6.1.

6.3.3.2 Improved algorithm for integer solutions
As previously mentioned, using an integer solution directly with the prototype of an MIP
approximation method may not be reasonable for the real power system. To be more
specific, the situation in which some adjacent reactive power compensation installation
