Abstract

The various optimal capacitor placement techniques on transmission and distributions lines for line losses reduction and enhancement of voltage stability in the power system network have been proposed so far in different papers. Optimal Capacitor placement is an optimization problem which has an objective to define the sizes and locations of capacitors to be installed. This paper focuses on the optimal capacitor placement and sizing problem formulation and analytical as well as heuristic artificial intelligence optimization methods for optimal capacitor placement and sizing. This paper helps the researchers to know about the different methods presented so far for optimal capacitor placement and sizing in transmission and distribution networks so that further work on optimal capacitor placement can be carried out for better results. Keywords - capacitor sizing, distribution system, heuristic techniques, optimal capacitor placement, reactive power, transmission system, voltage stability.
