This paper presents a multi-objective optimization approach for day-ahead energy and reactive power dispatch in deregulated electricity markets, emphasizing the limitations of traditional single objective functions. It proposes four objectives: social welfare maximization, load served maximization, loss minimization, and voltage stability enhancement, with simulations conducted on the IEEE 30 bus test system. The study concludes that simultaneous optimization of these objectives leads to better market outcomes compared to optimizing them independently.
