This paper reports concerns of capacitor placement in power distribution systems in the locality of a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). A feedback controlled simulation model of an actual DVR is developed to perform case studies. Cogency of this model is established by associat ing the waveforms from the model with field measurements. Issues relating to expansion of a DVR in the locality of power...

This paper presents a new and efficient approach for capacitor placement in radial distribution systems that determine the optimal locations and size of capacitor with an objective of improving the voltage profile and reduction of power loss. The solution methodology has two parts: in part one the loss sensitivity factors are used to select the candidate locations for the capacitor placement an...

This paper undertakes the problem of optimal capacitor placement in a distribution system. The problem is how to optimally determine the locations to install capacitors, the types and sizes of capacitors to he installed and, during each load level,the control settings of these capacitors in order that a desired objective function is minimized while the load constraints,network constraints and o...

Capacitors in power systems are generally used to supply reactive power to reduces losses and improvement of the voltage profile.The appropriate placement of capacitors is also important to ensure that system power losses and total capacitor costs can be reduced. This paper presents a new constraint objective cost function to maximize the net annual savings by minimizing real power loss and opt...

the harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. this paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. the objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...

In this study we present a new technique for analysis of capacitor placement in the power distribution systems considering the most of the parameters affected in this problem. Detection of capacitance and optimal placement of capacitors in power distribution system can lead to decrement in losses, enhancement in voltage profile, increment of power factor and freeing up generation capacityand en...
