Minimization of losses in Radial Distribution System by Optimal sizing and Placement using Biogeography based Optimization

Abstract

Shunt Capacitors in power systems are normally used to give receptive power
remuneration in distribution frameworks. Shunt Capacitors assume an indispensable part in
upgrading the presentation of radial distribution systems. Shunt capacitors played a major role in
radial distribution system in various terms like control in power, power factor in level, reduction in
losses and voltage profile control too. A Radial circulation power stream calculation is executed for
power stream simulation. The ideal situation of the system is likewise imperative to guarantee that
there should be a reduction in power loss and the base expense can be decreased in the long run
yearly investment funds can be expanded. The ideal capacitor position issue comprises of deciding
sizes and area of capacitor so as to enhance a goal work. The issue is settled utilizing Biogeography
based Optimization. The exhibition of the proposed Biogeography put together Optimization is tried
with respect to the IEEE 33 and IEEE 69 bus radial appropriation framework. The outcomes show
that ideal robustness execution can be accomplished by the proposed technique.
