A Canonical Complementary PSO Approach in Radial Distribution System for Reduction of Total Line Loss and Improvement of Voltage Profile

This study presents a new and efficient approach for capacitor placement in radial distribution systems with an objective of improving the voltage profile and reduction of power loss. In this study, optimal distributed generation allocation for loss reduction in distribution network. The main purpose of this study is to discuss the basic understanding of power quality in relation to the distributed generation. A Canonical Complementary Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (CCPSOA) was used as solving tool. This algorithm is used to minimize an objective function. For applying CCPSOA, software is programmed under Matlab software is prepared. This proposed CPSO method is implemented on IEEE 30 and IEEE 69-bus systems and the results may show that the proposed method is better than the other methods. The results prove the efficiency of the proposed method.
