| Abstract: | This paper describes a two-stage methodology
of optimal capacitor placement for the reconfigured network. A two-stage
methodology is used to reduce the losses and to improve the voltage profile of
the balanced radial distribution networks. In the
first stage, an improved fuzzy multi-objective algorithm is used for the
network reconfiguration of the original network. In the second stage,
capacitors are placed optimally for the reactive power compensation of the
reconfigured network. Fuzzy approach is used to find the optimal capacitor
locations and analytical method is used to find the sizes of the capacitors.
The proposed method is tested on 11-bus, 33-bus and 69-bus test systems and the
results indicate that considerable loss reduction is possible with substantial
improvement in the voltage profile. |
