Abstract:This paper presents a method for optimal allocation of active and/or passive VAR compensation. The method is implemented using Static Var Compensator (SVC) and shunt capacitors to improve the overall performance of a radial primary distribution network. The impact of optimal allocation of shunt compensators on primary distribution networks performance with different load levels (20% increased or 20% decreased) is also studied. Modified IEEE 33-bus primary distribution network is used to verify the effectivenes… Show more
