Abstract

In this paper the application of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique for active and reactive power compensation of power distribution loss has been proposed. The active and reactive power compensation can be obtained by the optimal placement of DG and Capacitor. The evaluation of optimal power factor of the system has also been carried out in this work. To solve the optimal placement problem PSO technique has been used. The locations of DG and capacitor play an important role in maintaining voltage profiles. The results obtained from PSO have also been compared with the fast analytical approach. The proposed technique is tested on 33-bus power distribution system.
