ABSTRACT

The other methods based on intelligent algorithm are researched, such as an Improved Harmony Search (IHS) algorithm is applied to solve the optimal capacitor placement problem[5]; a general solution algorithm based on simulated annealing for optimal capacitor placements in distribution systems is proposed and analyzed in[6];[7] shows a fuzzy decision making which using a new evolutionary method known as Bacteria Foraging Algorithm (BFA). Besides, the methods perform efficiently that a loop-analysis based analytic algorithm is developed in[8] to efficiently calculate the optimal settings of capacitor with time-varying load and that an approach based on dynamic programming is presented to reach such an optimal schedule such that the total feeder loss in a day is minimized[9-10].
