Abstract
Recently, integration of distributed generations (DGs) and shunt capacitors in radial distribution network are becoming popular to withstand the rapidly increasing in electricity demands. In this article, a hybrid method is proposed to obtain the best locations and sizes of capacitors and DGs in radial distribution network. This hybrid method is based on chaotic whale optimization algorithm (CWOA) and loss sensitivity factor (LSF). The proposed method is tested on IEEE 69-bus system to enhance the buses voltages, increase the distribution system capacity, and decrease the total power loss. The obtained results prove that the proposed method based on CWOA and LSF can be highly effective in determining the locations and sizes of capacitors and DGs in RDS compared with other optimization techniques.
