MDE with Considered Different Load Scenarios for Solving Optimal Location and Sizing of Shunt Capacitors

To obtain the SaDE method, two enhancements have been employed on control parameters of crossover and mutation operators in original DE algorithm. To expands this discussion and shows the robustness of proposed algorithm, three load conditions have been considered, i.e., constant, varying and effective loads. Objective function is introduced for the load conditions. The annual cost is fitness of problem, in addition to this cost, CPU time, voltage profile, active power loss and total installed capacitor banks and their related costs have been used for comparisons.
