“…In order to avoid this instability, there are several preventive steps that can be taken; one of them is the installation of a reactive power compensation scheme. This compensation device in the power system provides reactive power compensation; reduces network losses; reduces energy losses; improves the voltage profile; releases system capacity; and recovers the power factor (Sajjadi et al, 2013;Taher & Bagherpour, 2013;Arief et al, 2016).…”

This paper presents a novel analytical methodology to determine the placement of reactive power devices in power systems. The proposed method modifies the Modal analysis technique and, based on the inversed reduced Jacobian matrix, develops a new formulation to compute the Reactive Contribution Factor (RCF) of each load buses. The objective of this research is to achieve the most stable condition and to minimize network losses. The proposed method is implemented at the modified IEEE 30-bus Reliability Test System (RTS) and compared with a different placement. In order to assess the method, this work compares the voltage profile, eigenvalue and network losses. The simulation results show that the proposed method can provide a solution to the ideal shunt compensator placement by improving the system's voltage stability and by minimizing losses.

“…Ant colony optimization algorithm was proposed to solve capacitor placement in radial distribution system [13]. Taher and Bagherpour proposed the hybrid honey bee colony optimization algorithm to place the shunt capacitor in IEEE 25, 37 bus radial distribution system to minimize power loss and maintains total harmonic distortion [14]. Antunes et al proposed the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm to solve the optimal capacitor placement in radial distribution system for reactive power compensation [15].…”
