This paper undertakes the problem of optimal shunt capacitor placement for loss reduction in a radial distribution feeder. The objective is to determine the optimum size and location of the capacitors to be placed on a radial distribution system. The objective function is to have maximization of saving due to reduction of energy losses thereby taking into consideration cost of capacitor. The so...

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...
