Optimal location and sizing of capacitor placement in radial distribution system using Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm
The new integrated approach of LSF and VSI is used to find the optimal location of capacitor. Proposed BFOA for solving capacitor placement. The load is varied form light load to peak load with step size of 1%. The generalized equation is derived to tune the capacitor size according to load changes.
