Combination of Optimal Conductor Selection and Capacitor Placement in Radial Distribution Systems Using PSO Method

In This paper presents an approach for optimal placement and sizing of fixed capacitor banks and also optimal conductor selection in radial distribution networks for the purpose of economic minimization of loss and enhancement of voltage. The objective function includes the cost of power losses, vol...
