Abstract
Optimal capacitor placement is a procedure to find optimal location and size of capacitors in distribution systems in order to follow some specific proposes. With this explanation, a proper capacitor placement can be considered as an effective scenario to improve system reliability and reduce energy losses.In this paper, a new practical method is presented to find optimal place and size of capacitors such that it minimizes the power losses and reduces the overall cost of the distribution system.Due to the non‐linear objective functions and constraints equations, Genetic Algorithm is used which will be an ideal candidate to well solve this type of optimization problem where the new heuristic techniques applied in this paper cause a significant improvement in voltage profile with fast computation time.The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through several examples and the results are compared with some other methods.
