Radial Distribution Network Enhancement with D-Statcom Using Bacterial Foraging Algorithm

This paper presents a Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFA) based approach to optimal location and sizing of Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM) for voltage profile improvement and power loss minimization. A direct approach based on Bus Injected to Branch Current Matrix (BIBC) is used for power...
