This paper proposes an efficient methodology for optimal location and sizing of static shunt capacitors in radial distribution systems to reduce real power loss, improve voltage profile and to maximize total cost saving. The solution methodology has two parts: In part one, the buses to be compensated is identified using loss sensitivity factors. In the second part, modified artificial bee colony algorithm is used to select the optimal size of capacitors to be placed at the candidate buses. In addition the number of candidate buses is selected by searching for maximum cost saving. The results of proposed approach have been presented and compared with previous methods reported in the literature using four test cases. The presented results indicate the efficiency and quality of solution.

“…A pioneering work which determines the capacitor sizes as discrete variables using dynamic programming technique was reported by Duran [4]. More rigorous approaches were suggested in 1980's [5][6][7][8]. Grainger and Lee [5] formulated this problem as a non-linear programming problem by treating the capacitors locations and sizes as continuous variables.…”

“…Grainger and Lee [5] formulated this problem as a non-linear programming problem by treating the capacitors locations and sizes as continuous variables. Fawzi et al [6] incorporated the released substation kva and the voltage rise at light-load level into a model developed by Neagle and Samson [2]. Ponnavaikko and Prakasa Rao [7] proposed a model, which considered the load growth and the discrete nature of capacitor size, apart from those considered in [5] and used a local optimization technique.…”

“…Power factor correction and/or the shunt compensation of feeders is a widely practiced tool for enhancing the voltage profile and for reducing the feeders' copper losses in distribution networks [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The loss reduction depends primarily on the sizes and locations of the shunt capacitors.…”

This article presents an alternative approach to the economical assessment and optimization of radial power distribution feeders with concentrated and/or distributed loading. It takes into account the annual cost items resulting from the feeder copper losses as well as the installation of shunt capacitors. In addition to the energy and capacitor specific costs, the objective function is shown to depend on the size and location of the shunt capacitor, the feeder resistance, the voltage level, as well as the load current and its power factor. The concept is applied to a case study, and the results are compared with the known solutions based on minimizing the feeder losses. An overall economical advantage is achieved if the presented procedure is applied.
