Heuristic for solving capacitor allocation problems in electric energy radial distribution networks

The goal of the capacitor allocation problem in radial distribution networks is to minimize technical losses with consequential positive impacts on economic and environmental areas. The main objective is to define the size and location of the capacitors while considering load variations in a given h...
