| Summary: | In this paper, a novel hybrid phasor particle swarm optimization and
gravitational search algorithm, namely the hybrid PPSOGSA algorithm, is
proposed to find the optimal size and location of shunt capacitors in
distribution systems with non-linear loads. The performance of PPSOGSA are
studied and evaluated using the IEEE 9- and 85-bus test systems with the
objective of minimizing the total annual cost of the system. The procedure
is conducted taking into account effects of harmonic distortion and discrete
size of capacitors available in the market. Simulation results are compared
with those obtained by other optimization techniques, and verified using the
Electrical Transient Analysis Program (ETAP). It was established that that
the hybrid PPSOGSA algorithm provides better solutions in terms of
convergence and accuracy. |
