Optimal location of capacitors and capacitor sizing in a radial distribution system using Stud krill herd Algorithm

Abstract

his paper presents a new meta-heuristic technique, Stud Krill Herd Algorithm (SKHA) for solving capacitor placement problem in radial distribution system (RDS). The algorithm predicted the optimal size of the capacitors and should be placed at the proper location for loss minimization and hence improvement in voltage. The Stud krill herd algorithm is established along the biological herding behavior of krills along with genetic operators namely Stud selection and Crossover operator. The method is implemented in 69 IEEE RDS test system 94 bus Portugal system and the results are compared with other algorithms from the literature. The outcomes reveal the potency of the algorithm. The simulation is taken away on the MATLAB environment.
