A Study on Capacitor Placement in Radial Distribution Systems for Loss Reduction using Fuzzy Logic

P. Gayathri

Abstract: A simple and efficient method for solving radial distribution networks is presented. The proposed method involves only the evaluation of a simple algebraic expression of receiving-end voltages. Computationally, the proposed method using fuzzy logic is very efficient. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using some examples.
