AN INTELLIGENT FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER FOR NODAL DETECTION APPLIED PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION FOR OPTIMAL BANKS CAPACITOR IN ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

Abstract

Circulation of reactive power is the most problem of electrical distribution systems developers they cause reduction of active power transmission, diminish power losses, and augment the drop voltage in this propose this research described an efficiency approach FLC-PSO to solve the optimal power flow (OPF) combinatorial problem. The proposed approach employ tow algorithms, Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) algorithm for nodal detection and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for optimal sizing capacitor of OPF combinatorial problem control variables. PSO method is more proficient in improving combinatory problem. The proposed approach has been examined and tested on the standard IEEE 57-bus test System with different objectives that reflect cost function minimization, voltage profile improvement, and voltage stability enhancement. The proposed approach results have been compared to those that reported in the literature recently. The results are promising and show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach
