dc.description.abstractMinimization of Power Loss, enhancing cost savings, and improving the performance of the distribution network are important areas in the power system due to degrading power quality on consumers' end, financial loss of utility due to heavy power loss and unbalance of reactive power in the distribution network. One of the best method to enhance the efficiency and performance of the distribution system is by optimal sizing and placement of a capacitor bank. In this thesis, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to determine the size of the capacitor bank and candidate bus for placement of the capacitor. The objective function is adopted to minimalize the total cost of energy and enhance the cost saving. Initially, the standard IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system is considered without compensation (without capacitor bank) and Load Flow analysis is carried out using the PSO algorithm and ETAP software and the performance of the distribution network is determined. Then, the optimal sizing and placement of the capacitor bank are determined using the PSO algorithm based on LSI values.
