“…The first one is the identification of capacitor location and the second is the amount of capacitor inclusion at the identified location. The most conventional sensitivity analysis has been followed for finding the optimal location and the conventional searching adapted in order to find the [14] used Body Immune Algorithm where sensitivity analysis and ranking of the buses is carried out to know the exact position of the capacitors. Dynamic programming assuming the capacitor sizes as discrete variables adapted by Duran [15].…”

Optimal capacitor placement in the distribution network is the most popular technique adopted for the control of power loss and enhancement of Volts Ampere Reactive for effective power delivery. This study, therefore, discusses improvement of distribution efficiency of 11kV power lines through placement of capacitor banks in the network. Power flow in the network, Ado-Ekiti 11kV lines, was carried out using Newton-Rapson iteration method available in MATLAB while the analysis of the network was actualized using the conventional load flow equation modeling. From the analysis of the network, voltage deviation falls within the range of -5.9 to -180.5% which is completely outside the permissible range of ±5%. Voltage drop on the feeders is within the range (1.2 -1.9) kV before and (0.2 -0.7) kV after the reactive power of the network was compensated.

“…The installation of capacitor on the distribution system is essential for power factor correction, minimization of power loss and improvement of voltage profile. Power loss in distribution system needs to be minimized so that it does not disrupt the power delivery to the consumer [1][2]. Capacitor installation is beneficial to the utility; but the determination of suitable location and sizing require the proper optimization technique.…”

Improper placement of capacitor as one of the compensating devices will lead to under-compensation or over-compensation which may lead to possible monetary losses. Thus optimization process has become a priori to address this problem. This paper presents cuckoo search algorithm in loss minimization via capacitor placement in distribution system. Implementation of sensitivity analysis for location identification; followed by optimal sizing determination via cuckoo search is a remarkable effort for the compensating scheme. Validation on a reliability test model, namely the IEEE 33-bus radial distribution system has indicated promising results. With the development of optimization engine, an attempt to assess its feasibility can be done through the implementation on larger test system. This is demonstrated by the simulation results, which revealed that cuckoo is feasible in ensuring loss has been minimized while maintaining voltage level within the acceptable range
