Optimization of distributed generation units in reactive power compensated reconfigured distribution network

Capacitor Allocation (CA) and Network Reconfiguration (NR) are the traditional methods extensively applied by the researchers for power loss reduction and node voltage improvement in radial Distribution Network (DN) for the past four decades. In recent years, simultaneous optimization of CA and NR i...
