DSTATCOM allocation in distribution networks considering load variations using bat algorithm

This paper proposes a new method of scheduling for optimal placement and sizing of Distribution STATic COMpensator in the radial distribution networks to minimize the power loss. In the proposed method Voltage Stability Index is used to search the optimal placement for installation of DSTATCOM. Opti...
