Abstract

This paper gives method for selecting optimum position for fixed and switched capacitors on a radial feeder. The optimum position of capacitors ( fixed and switched ) are selected based on random proposal for their places on the feeder. The method also includes a selection of optimum switching time of switched capacitor which will be located at the optimum position. As the optimum location is definite, the hourly optimum operating strategy for fixed and switched Capacitors located at the optimum positions is obtained.
