This paper presents the optimal capacitor placement in distribution power system for enhancement loadability. The continuation power flow technique is included in multi-objective function of particle swarm optimization (PSO) called non-dominated sorting PSO (NSPSO) for finding the capacitor location making maximum loadability. The experimental results of 33-bus system show that the optimal location and size of capacitor are different from considering power system loss and voltage deviation in objective function of optimization process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
