Optimal capacitor placement on radial distribution systems

IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 1989
The problem of capacitor placement on a radial distribution system is formulated and a solution algorithm is proposed. The location, type, and size of capacitors, voltage constraints, and load variations are considered. The objective of capacitor placement is peak power and energy loss reduction, taking into account the cost of the capacitors.

Optimal capacitor placement using branch and bound

Proceedings of the 37th Annual North American Power Symposium, 2005., 2005
Optimal capacitor placement (OCP) determines the sizing, siting, and switching of capacitors that are added to a radial distribution feeder. OCP seeks to maximize the net dollar savings resulting from the reduction in power and energy losses less the total costs of capacitors.

FELM based intelligent optimal switching capacitor placement

2011 Eighth International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD), 2011
Minimizing the total active power loss and voltage drop are the two important challenges for power transmission and distribution in an unbalanced power flow problem for any power distribution system. This can be achieved by installing the proper sized switching capacitor at proper place in a power distribution system.

Maximizing Electrical Power Saving Using Capacitors Optimal Placement

Recent Advances in Electrical & Electronic Engineering (Formerly Recent Patents on Electrical & Electronic Engineering), 2020
Background:Low power factor is regarded as one of the most dedicated issues in large scale inductive power networks, because of the lost energy in term of a reactive power. Accordingly, installing capacitors in the network improves the power factor and hence decreases the reactive power.Methods:This paper presents an approach to maximize the saving in ...

Optimal shunt capacitor placement in radial distribution system

2016 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon), 2016
This paper proposed a Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) method to identify the optimal location and size of shunt capacitor in radial distribution system. The main objective is to reduce the power loss in the system by using the reactive power compensation strategy.

Decoupling Capacitor Placement Optimization With Lagrange Multiplier Method

2020 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility & Signal/Power Integrity (EMCSI), 2020
This paper proposes a decoupling capacitor placement optimization method based on the cavity model and Lagrange multiplier. The variable conditions associating with coordinates (x,y) of input impedance expression based on the cavity model are combined with the Lagrange multiplier method.

Soft Computing Techniques for Optimal Capacitor Placement

2014
Distribution system transfers electric energy from the transmission system to electric loads. Majority of losses in power system, i.e., nearly 10 %, occur in distribution system. Rigid distribution system infrastructure and rising load demand lead to increase in losses, thus, degrading the voltage profile.

Optimal capacitor placement using deterministic and genetic algorithms

Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications. Connecting Utilities. PICA 99. To the Millennium and Beyond (Cat. No.99CH36351), 2000
A procedure for solving the power capacitor placement problem is presented. The objective is to determine the minimum investment required to satisfy suitable reactive constraints. Due to the discrete nature of reactive compensation devices, optimal capacitor placement leads to a nonlinear programming problem with mixed (discrete and continuous ...

Reconfiguration and optimal capacitor placement for losses reduction

2012 Sixth IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution: Latin America Conference and Exposition (T&D-LA), 2012
This paper presents a deterministic approach for network reconfiguration and a heuristic technique for optimal capacitor placement for power-loss reduction and voltage profile improvement in distribution networks. Related to the reconfiguration, a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) algorithm is utilized to determine the configuration of minimum losses.
