Abstract
Shunt capacitor banks (SCBs) are used in distribution systems for loss reduction, voltage stability improvement for the system nodes, and system capacity release. However, the size of these capacitors and their placement locations are design factors that have been considered as single or multi-objectives to derive maximum benefits from their installation. To find the optimal location and size of the SCBs, this study proposes the application of multi-objective salp swarm algorithms, considered at ambient temperature, in radial distribution systems. Additionally, a fuzzy-based mechanism has been utilized to identify the best-fit solution of three different objective functions. The proposed method is implemented on IEEE 15-bus and 33-bus radial distribution systems, as well as on real data taken from the Saudi Electricity Company. The results indicate improved effectiveness and higher capability of the proposed method.
