چکیده
The problem of capacitor allocation for loss reduction in electric distribution systems has been extensively researched over the past several decades. This paper describes the evolution of the research and provides an evaluation of the practicality and accuracy of the capacitor placement algorithms in the literature. The intent of this paper is not to provide a complete survey of all the literature in capacitor allocation, but to provide researchers and utility engineers further insight into the choices of available capacitor allocation techniques and their respective merits and shortcomings. Furthermore, this paper serves as a useful and practical guideline to assist in the implementation of an appropriate capacitor allocation technique.

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...
