Abstract

This study presents a pelican optimization algorithm (POA) based technique for optimizing the integration of capacitor banks in radial power distribution systems. The proposed approach adopts a hybrid approach that combines the loss sensitivity factors (LSF) and the POA to determine the appropriate placement and sizing of the capacitor banks, respectively, for best system performance. The proposed methodology is tested on the IEEE 33-bus distribution system using MATLAB software. The performance for integrating two capacitor banks is compared to that of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the genetic algorithm (GA) methods. The proposed POA method achieved a significant improvement in system performance. Specifically, it reduced active power losses (PLoss) by 68.08%, which surpasses the reductions achieved by PSO (61.79%) and GA (57.73%). In the case of reactive power loss (QLoss), the POA-based approach also proved superior with a 39.035% reduction, while PSO and GA-based methods achieved 28.50% and 22.59% reductions, respectively. These results underscore the effectiveness of the POA-based approach in capacitor bank placement and sizing, making it a promising candidate for enhancing voltage profiles and minimizing power losses in radial distribution systems.
