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...

A distribution system is an interface between the bulk power system and the consumers. Among these systems, radial distributions system is popular because of low cost and simple design. In distribution systems, the voltages at buses reduces when moved away from the substation, also the losses are high. The reason for decrease in voltage and high losses is the insufficient amount of reactive pow...

Interfacing converters utilized in connecting energy storage systems like ultra capacitors and battery banks to wind generation systems introduce additional cost and power losses. This paper thus presents an immediate integration theme for ultra capacitors utilized in mitigating short-run power fluctuations in wind generation systems. This theme uses a dual electrical converter topology for eac...
