This article presents an optimal placement and sizing of distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) in radial networks as multi-objective optimization with the objective power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement network reliability considering different variable demands using whale algorithm (WOA). The WOA is inspired by hunting behavior humpback whales. location size DSTATCOM are consi...

The efficiency of electrical distribution systems is being more affected by the increase in voltage drops and power losses. These issues drop loss can be significantly minimized incorporation a Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) network. However, inappropriate positioning sizing DSTATCOM undermine its efficiency. Despite contributions many researchers to optimal placement other compensa...

Increased electric energy demand is the major factor that cracks researchers to focus on electrical meet challenge. Accordingly, power loss should be minimized. Due this, Distribution Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (DFACTS) and Distributed Generation (DG) must placed in an appropriate way distribution systems. Fuzzy-Lightning Search Algorithm (FLSA) has been proposed minimize ...

The enhancement in electric power quality using a single-stage solar PV integrated Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) has been discussed this paper. UPQC is the combination of Distributed static compensator (DSTATCOM) and Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) having common DC voltage supply link. DSTATCOM compensates for load current associated problems like factor improvement, even odd harmonic...

The performance of D-STATCOM depends on capacitor voltage regulation. In D-STATCOM, the nonlinear controller is preferred to linear controller. Regulating and fixing the capacitor DC voltage in DSTATCOM can improve the system dynamic such as capacitor voltage response, current response and modulation index. The regulation of DC capacitor voltage based on optimal PI co-efficient. In conventional...

An unbalanced electrical distribution system (DS) with radial construction and passive nature suffers from significant power loss. The unstable load demand poor voltage profile resulted insufficient reactive in the DS. This research implements a unique Rao algorithm without metaphors for optimal allocation of multiple distributed generation (DG) static compensators (DSTATCOM). For appropriate s...
