➢ Introduction
• Advantages from capacitor placement in
distribution system, for example, are
- power factor correction
- bus voltage regulation
- power and energy loss reduction
- feeder and system capacity release
- power quality improvement
• All these advantages are achieved when the
capacitors are installed at their optimal
locations, sizes, and, types
3
➢ Introduction
• In this work, the capacitor placement problem
in distribution systems will take into account
- the presence of nonlinear loads
- unbalanced loading in each phase
to investigate the effects of these two factors
on the optimal solutions
• The inclusion of system unbalances increase
the dimension of capacitor placement problem
because all three phases have to be considered

➢ Basic PSO Algorithm
• PSO’s concept:
- PSO consists of a group of particle in swarm
- Particles are referred as the candidate solutions
- Each particle is represented by its position
and velocity
- Particles change their positions to find
the better solution by updating their velocities
- Knowledge for updating the velocity is based on
inertia component from last velocity
previous best position of each particle
position of the best particle in swarm
7
➢ Application of PSO
• Each particle represents:
- capacitor kVAr to be placed at each bus for all load levels
- dimension of each particle: m nl

➢ Proposed Adaptive
PSO
• Capacitor placement problem has multimodal of
local optimal solutions scattering throughout the
search space
• If solution is detected no improvement during
computation process, it may result from:
- the solution is convergence to optimal
solution, or
- the solution is being trapped at any local
optimums
• If the solution is being trapped at any local
optimums, a PSO requires some variation to seek
for better solutions
9
➢ Proposed Adaptive
•PSO
The proposed method is to activate the particles at
proper points
• Activate means to randomly generate the position
of particles with a uniform probability distribution
• Two methods are suggested to identify the
appropriate number for activation
• Method 1: activate the solution with a fixed
number of iterations
• Method 2: activate the solution when observed no
improvement over a prespecified number of
iterations
