Abstract

In this work, an algorithm based on mayfly is presented towards the optimal capacitor placement for the minimization of losses and improvement of the voltage profile. It employs the concept of fixed and switched capacitor with the former serves as an alternative to later. A factor based on loss sensitivity was employed in locating a candidate bus, this helps in search space reduction and optimal sizing and placement of capacitor were realized using the mayfly algorithm. The effectiveness of this technique was tested on the standard 10 bus and 15 bus radial distribution system which upon comparison the result surpassed that of the previous method .
