Optimal allocation and sizing of capacitors to minimize the transmission line loss and to improve the voltage profile

In this paper, a modified discrete particle swarm optimization is presented to find the optimal placement and size of capacitors in a distribution system. The objective function is composed of the line loss and the capacitors investment cost. The bus voltage and the feeder current as constraints are...
