Self adaptive harmony search algorithm for optimal capacitor placement on radial distribution systems

Optimal capacitor placement in distribution systems for power loss reduction and voltage profile improvement

“…Ramadan et al [17] used a fuzzy‐based approach for optimal capacitor allocation and sizing in radial distribution systems. Rani et al [18] used the LSF and the self‐adaptive harmony search algorithm to solve the optimal capacitor placement problem in order to minimise the power loss. Kavousi‐Fard and Niknam [19] presented the honey bee mating optimisation algorithm to find the optimal locations and sizes of capacitors.…”

A novel heap-based optimizer for allocation of shunt capacitors in radial distribution network

“…Using equation (19), a search agent can update its location by selecting the percentage Pr , 2 where the limit of Pr 2 can be derived as follows:…”

“…Voltage stability index and voltage deviation are rarely mentioned as objectives by authors. The fuzzy-genetic algorithm (FGA) [10], particle swarm optimization [11], gravitational search algorithm [12], Cuckoo search algorithm [13], firefly algorithm (FA) [14], bat algorithm [15], Limaçon-inspired spider monkey optimization algorithm [16], invasive weed optimization method [17], mine blast algorithm [18], self-adapting harmony search algorithm [19], whale optimization algorithm (WOA) [20], Black widow optimizer (BWO) [21] and Flower Pollinated Algorithm (FPA) [22] are a few population-based AI optimization algorithms that have been used to solve OSASC.…”

Optimal capacitor sizing and placement based on real time analysis using PSO for energy efficiency improvement

“…The increase the capability and functionality of capacitors [2]. However, harmonics distortion level will amplify when shunt capacitors are installed randomly without proper calculation in distorted electrical distribution system no matter how good or reliable the capacitors are [3][4][5][6].…”
