Abstract

The voltage instability occurs in power system when the system is unable to maintain an acceptable voltage profile under an increasing load demand and / or configuration changes the operating conditions of the presents day distribution systems are closer to the voltage stability boundaries due to the ever increasing load demand. Capacitors have long been used in power system for providing reactive power support, which reduces power and energy losses, increase the available capacity of the feeders, and improves the feeder voltage profile. In this work, a method employing the Ant Colony Search Algorithm (ACSA) has been developed for the capacitor placement in a view to enhance voltage stability besides improving voltage profile and reducing losses. The proposed technique has been tested on 28 node distribution systems. It has been found that the proposed method provides highly satisfactory results.
