Abstract

Power flow optimization in electrical power distribution systems is crucial for maintaining voltage stability and energy efficiency. 20 kV distribution systems often face voltage profile instability issues due to high power losses, where conventional power flow analysis methods are sometimes inefficient in handling load fluctuations in medium-voltage networks. This study proposes power flow calculation optimization using the fast-decoupled approach to evaluate and improve voltage profiles quickly and accurately, as well as integrating reactive power compensation through strategic capacitor bank placement. Simulation results show that under existing conditions, the system experiences significant voltage drops, especially at Bus 27 (17.740 kV) and Bus 53 (7.640 kV). After implementing a 2×900 kVAr capacitor bank, the voltage profile increased dramatically: Bus 27 rose to 19.160 kV and Bus 52 reached 19.020 kV. This proves that the integration of the fast decoupled method and reactive power compensation is effective in minimizing voltage deviation and improving the operational stability of the distribution system.
