Abstract

This study focuses on the application of the JAYA algorithm to optimize the implementation and sizing of a distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) in distribution systems to reduce power losses and enhance voltage profiles, ensuring a total harmonic distortion of voltage (THDv) below 3% at all system nodes. The algorithm, developed and modelled in MATLAB, addresses power flow solutions and analyzes harmonic influence from implementing a DSTATCOM as reactive compensation via a non-iterative harmonic penetration analysis. Successful algorithm implementation results in a significant reduction in both active and reactive power losses in 33- and 34-node systems while maintaining a THDv below 3% at all nodes. Although imposing the THDv limit constraint reduces power loss, this compensation ensures low THDv levels in the voltage. In contrast to existing literature that focuses on power loss reduction via reactive compensation, this work addresses and controls the inclusion of harmonics in the electrical network as a consequence of such reactive compensation, marking a novel contribution to the field.
