A modified approach for reactive power compensation in power system using intelligent control

Abstract EN

This paper presents an attempt to introduce a modified approach for an optimization technique, where the automatic and controlling problems will be analyzing and formulated aiming to improve voltage regulation and reducing power losses.

An optimal control of capacitor banks in distribution power systems will be discussed also, using intelligent control.

The focus will be on the capacitor placement problem to determine the locations and sizes of the capacitors so that the power loss is minimized and annual economic savings are maximized to achieve the reactive power compensation, in addition to the power factor enhancement.
