Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for optimal location of capacitors in medium voltage distribution systems, considering uncertainty in demand. This uncertainty is simulated using a probabilistic load flow, which was implemented based on the chain’s method, used to solve the operational problem in the Montecarlo simulation. As a method of optimizing a modified version of genetic algorithm, called Chu Beasley, is used. In order to enhance the optimization method, sensitivity factors that establish a relationship between reactive power and system losses are used. To verify the validity of the methodology, a test system from the literature is used, which concluded that the stochastic load flow determines a mean value of demand, with similar results to those obtained with versions that use deterministic power flow.
