A Tabu Search Multiobjective Approach to Capacitor Allocation in Radial Distribution Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The installation of shunt capacitors in primary distribution electrical networks can effectively reduce energy and peak power losses, while improving voltage profile. Economic and operational benefits depend mainly on the number, locations and sizes of the capacitors installed. Several approaches devoted to this problem have been reported in the literature. However, most of them adopt some unrealistic assumptions (such as uniform load distribution, uniform feeder size and constant loads), suffer from lack of generality, or are computationally too demanding when applied to distribution systems of realistic sizes.

Optimal Capacitor Allocation in Radial Distribution Networks for Annual Costs Minimization Using Hybrid PSO and Sequential Power Loss Index Based Method
In the most recent heuristic methods, the high potential buses for capacitor placement are initially identified and ranked using loss sensitivity factors (LSFs) or power loss index (PLI). These factors or indices help to reduce the search space of the optimization procedure, but they may not always indicate the appropriate placement of capacitors. This paper proposes an efficient approach for t...
