Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach that combines the Particle swarm optimization with the Differential Evolution (termed as DEPSO) for capacitor placement in large-scale distribution systems with an objective of improving the voltage profile and reduction of power loss. The loss sensitivity factors are used to select the candidate locations for the capacitor placement in the distribution system. DEPSO is used to estimate the optimal size of capacitors required to place at the optimal candidate locations. In DEPSO, in order to maintain diversity and explore the search space more efficiently, the PSO algorithm is incorporated into the DE algorithm and the particle position is updated partly in the DE way, partly in PSO normal updating way. To demonstrate the application and verify the effectiveness of the proposed method three different test systems are employed and the results are compared with the DE and PSO methods. The proposed method has outperformed the other!
methods (DE and PSO) in terms of the quality of solution and computational efficiency.
