Abstract
The article presents the results from measuring and analyzing the parameters characterizing the quality of electric power in the distribution network of Middle Egypt. This study is part of the research project for further development of the Egyptian electric network. Problems concerned with deviations from the permissible level of voltage in the distribution network are analyzed. Measures to normalize the voltage levels by using reactive power compensation devices are proposed. A new hybrid algorithm based on the particle swarm method was applied for arranging the compensating devices. The network operating conditions were simulated in the Matlab software system environment. The proposed approach for arranging the compensating devices based on optimization using the hybrid particle swarm method has shown high efficiency for normalizing the voltage levels and reducing active power losses.
