REACTIVE POWER SUPPLIER CONTROL DEVICE AND REACTIVE POWER SUPPLIER CONTROL METHOD

Current information is information on a current time step for a power system including a reactive power supplier. A plurality of pieces of future information are a plurality of pieces of information on a plurality of future time steps for the power system. Power installation information is information on installations constituting the power system. An optimal power flow problem is formulated by an objective function and a plurality of constraint expressions based on the current information, the plurality of pieces of future information, and the power installation information. The control command is set based on a variable determined by the optimal power flow. In at least one of the objective function and the plurality of constraint expressions, amounts of variation of an input of the reactive power supplier at the current step and the plurality of future steps of the reactive power supplier are accumulated.
