Optimal Capacitor Placement for Loadability Enhancement Based on Continuation Power Flow

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the optimal capacitor placement in distribution power system for enhancement loadability. The continuation power flow technique is included in multi-objective function of particle swarm optimization (PSO) called non-dominated sorting PSO (NSPSO) for finding the capacitor location making maximum loadability. The experimental results of 33-bus system show that the optimal location and size of capacitor are different from considering power system loss and voltage deviation in objective function of optimization process.
