Abstract
Annual load growth in a distribution system is expanding consistently, which results in underprivileged voltage-regulation and increment in power losses. Independent implementation of Distributed generation (DGs) along with capacitors is chosen as alternative techniques to decrease the power loss in the network. Optimal location and capacity of Capacitors along with DGs not only maximize the percentage power loss reduction but also increase the voltage profile, if optimal location and capacity is appropriate. Inappropriate placement and competence of capacitors and DGs leads the system to an increase in power loss. The best location and competence of capacitors and DGs is a difficult nondifferentiable combinatorial optimization problem, which has been applied to solve various engineering optimization problems like improvement in reliability, loadabilty, loss minimization, etc., using various analytical and evolutionary algorithms. In this study economic load growth ...
