Abstract:

This paper proposes a novel hybrid algorithm based on a combination of the simple quadratic interpolation and the symbiosis organisms search algorithm (SQI-SOS) for finding the optimal location and size of capacitors in radial distribution networks. The objective of the problem is to minimize the system operating cost so that the net yearly savings of the system are increased. The effectiveness of the SQI-SOS has been tested on 33-, 69-, and 119-bus radial distribution networks with different load models. The obtained results from the test system by the proposed SQI-SOS are compared with those from the conventional SOS and other mature optimization methods in the literature. The result comparison has shown that the proposed SQI-SOS algorithm can provide a better solution than the other methods. Accordingly, the proposed SQI-SOS can be a very effective and efficient method for dealing with the optimal capacitor placement problem in distribution networks.
