Abstract

In electrical distribution systems, shunt capacitors are installed in order to reduce system losses, to enhance the voltage profile, and to free up system capacity. Nevertheless, the installation of shunt capacitors in distribution systems with distorted waveforms will magnify the distortion level of harmonics if they are not set at appropriate locations relative to the harmonics. This paper proposes a hybrid method to determine the placement and sizing of shunt capacitors in distorted radial distribution systems, taking into account the presence of harmonic distortion with consideration of ambient temperature effects, (this technique consists of the fuzzy expert system approach and the Genetic Algorithm method). This hybrid technique is applied to an IEEE 34-bus radial standard distribution system as well as a real distribution system in the Saudi Electricity Company. The simulation results show that harmonic distortion considerably reduces and the efficiency of distribution systems increases with a reduction in power loss and enhancement of voltage regulation.
