Voltage stability, distribution networks, dragonfly optimization, capacitor placement.Abstract
The present day ever escalating power demand moves the operating point of
the distribution networks in the vicinity of the voltage stability boundaries.
Any small reactive power unbalance between the generation and demand
may trigger voltage instability, which makes the voltage magnitude to fall
slowly until a rapid change occurs. This paper presents an adaptive dragonfly
optimization based method for placement of shunt capacitor banks with
a view of improving the voltage stability besides enhancing the voltage
profile and lowering the network losses. Simulation results on 33 and 69-
node distribution networks exhibit the greater performances of the suggested
algorithm.
