In this study, the planning problem concerned with simultaneous placement of distribution generation (DG) and capacitor bank in the distribution network is investigated from a local distribution company’s (DISCO’s) viewpoint based on minimum total cost over the planning period and applying genetic algorithm (GA). The cost terms of the objective function include risk cost of load not supplied of...

Abstract This paper proposes 2 schemes of temperatureinsensitive square/triangular wave generator. The first scheme consists of merely an op-amp, 2 OTAs and sin...

This paper uses an effective method, CODEQ method, with integer programming for solving the capacitor placement problems in distribution systems. Different from the original differential evolution (DE), the concepts of chaotic search, opposition-based learning, and quantum mechanics are used in the CODEQ method to overcome the drawback of selection of the crossover factor and scaling factor use...

optimal sitting and sizing of shunt capacitor banks at the distribution networks for the purpose of power quality improvement is drawn much attention of electric power utilities in the last decades. determining the optimal number, location and sizing of capacitor using bee colony optimization algorithm (bco) is being presented in this paper. the bco algorithm is a new population based meta-heur...

This paper proposes an effective technique to allocate a shunt capacitor using meta-heuristic optimization-approach for minimizing the cost of energy losses. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm incorporated with MATPOWER is trained targeted function optical placement problem. The 115-node active distribution network supplied by MESC in Mandalay area applied as scenario. results includin...
