Optimal Placement and Sizing of STATCOM for Loss Reduction and Voltage Profile Enhancement Using Genetic AlgorithmBy Maduabuchi, A. U., K. E. Orie
Abstract: Electric power distribution networks frequently experience significant power losses and voltage profile deterioration due to increasing load demand and inadequate reactive power compensation. This study investigates the enhancement of the Eleme distribution network in Rivers State through voltage upgrading and optimal deployment of a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM). The existing network consists of a 5.56 km, 11 kV radial distribution system supplying seventeen distribution transformers with a cumulative load demand …
