A fuzzy-based approach for optimal allocation and sizing of capacitor banks

چکیده
This paper proposes a fuzzy set optimization approach for capacitor allocation in radial distribution system. In this approach, a membership function for voltage profile constraint has been used. Moreover, another membership function incorporating feeder section active power losses and total power losses constraints has been proposed. This membership function indirectly imposes thermal capability of the feeder on the optimization process. The proposed approach has been applied to 9-bus and 34-bus radial distribution systems. The results have been compared with those of two fuzzy approaches in literature. The comparison showed the effectiveness of the proposed approach for optimizing the sizes and locations of the capacitor with running and total cost reduction. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملOptimal Capacitor Allocation in Radial Distribution Networks for Annual Costs Minimization Using Hybrid PSO and Sequential Power Loss Index Based Method
In the most recent heuristic methods, the high potential buses for capacitor placement are initially identified and ranked using loss sensitivity factors (LSFs) or power loss index (PLI). These factors or indices help to reduce the search space of the optimization procedure, but they may not always indicate the appropriate placement of capacitors. This paper proposes an efficient approach for t...
