Fuzzy optimal placement of capacitors in the presence of nonlinear loads in unbalanced distribution networks using BF-PSO algorithm

چکیده
This paper presents a new method to optimize locating and the size of fixed and switching capacitor banks based on Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA). The algorithm is proposed for radial and meshed networks in the presence of unbalanced and nonlinear loads. The objective function considers the minimization of the total energy loss costs and capacitor installation cost, network total harmonic distortion (THD) index, and the deviation of the voltage fundamental component from the permitted value. Since these parameters do not have similar units and variation ranges, a membership degree is assigned to each parameter by using the fuzzy sets. The simulation results tested on the IEEE 123-Bus distribution network confirm the efficiency of the proposed method to reduce the system costs.
