This paper presents the optimal location and sizing of distributed generators and capacitor banks in radial distribution networks to minimize the active and reactive power losses. A mixed-integer nonlinear mathematical model is proposed to formulate the problem. This mathematical model is solved through general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) and the CONOPT solver. GAMS implementation is presented with 10 nodes test system classical used in the specialized literature. As test system, the 33 nodes system is used under three simulation scenarios. The first simulating scenario consists only in the location of distributed generators, while the second scenario evaluates only the location of capacitor banks and the third scenario combines both elements. The simulation results obtained show that the integration of both elements improve significantly the operating features of the system by comparison with the first two scenarios analyzed.Downloads
