Power quality improvement in distribution systems considering Optimum D-STATCOM placement

This paper presents an improved method in solving the optimization problem related to the optimum placement and sizing of the Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) in distribution systems, which use the firefly algorithm (FA) for power quality improvement. In the proposed method, t...
