Abstract
Abstract A new method based on heuristics and greedy search technique has been reported in this paper for the placement of capacitors in radial distribution system. Heuristic rules have been developed to determine the probable capacitor locations in a distribution network. A greedy search technique then determines the optimum capacitor locations from these probable locations and the size of capacitors at these locations. The greedy search technique for the determination of the optimum locations and size of capacitors is based on a simple one dimensional search technique called the basic search technique in this paper. This basic search technique has also been used successfully as an additional operator of the genetic search technique to develop a GA based solution of the capacitor placement problem in distribution system.
