Nowadays, using distributed generation (DG) resources, such as wind and solar, also improving the voltage profile in distribution companies has been considered. As optimal placement and sizing of shunt capacitors become more prevalent, utilities want to determine the impact of the various capacitors placement in distribution systems. Locating and determining the optimal capacity of shunt capaci...

In the electrical distribution network, reactive power compensation aims at guarantying an efficient delivery of active power to loads, releasing system capacity, reducing system losses, and improving system power factor and bus voltage profile. The achievement of these aims depends on the sizing and location of shunt capacitors (sources of reactive power). Operational, economical and quality o...

Distribution system plays an important role in supplying the electricity from generation to the consumers via transmission system. The power system is one of the most complex systems in the world. Because of the high R/X value the losses in the distribution system is more. The one of the roles of capacitor is reducing the losses in the distribution system. This paper presents an improved method...

This paper presents a 10-bit pipeline ADC using double sampling technique to achieve a conversion rate of 40 MS/s at 2.5-V supply. The opamps are two-stage with folded-cascode as the first stage and feature techniques such as common-mode stabilized active load, crosscoupled cascode connection, and close-loop pole placement. MOS switches are driven by bootstrapping circuits that do not subject t...

Loss minimization in power system is an important research issue. Transmission line losses in a power system can be minimized by means of reactive power compensation. The continuous demand in electric power system network has caused it to be heavily loaded leading to voltage instability. This phenomenon has also led to voltage profile depreciation below the acceptable secure limit. The signific...

Optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. The distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...

This paper presents the Clonal selection algorithmic approach to minimize power loss and energy cost by optimal capacitor placement and sizing in Radial Distribution System (RDS). The clonal selection optimization for optimal capacitor allocation is considering the daily load curve, which is represented by a given number of load levels. As an important branch of the Artificial Immune Systems (A...
