A Review of Optimal Capacitor Location Techniques in RDS
Author:
Abstract: Numerous approaches have been suggested in the literature for strategically placing capacitors on transmission and distribution lines to reduce line losses and improve voltage stability within power systems. Optimal capacitor placement focuses on identifying the most effective sizes and positions for installing capacitors. This study concentrates on formulating the issue of optimal capacitor placement and sizing, utilizing analytical and heuristic artificial intelligence-based optimization techniques. The aim is to provide researchers with an overview of the various methodologies introduced so far, thereby facilitating further advancements in this area for enhanced outcomes.
