D-STATCOM Optimal Placement and Sizing in the Distribution System with JCF-LA Approach

D-STATCOM is a FACTS device that is utilized in the DS for regulating the power utility.The D-STATCOM is good in good in solving the power quality problems, when placed at an optimal location.In this research work, a hybridization model is utilized for optimal placement and sizing of D-STATCOM in the distribution system.The hybridization model referred as JCF-LA is utilized in this research work and it is the conceptual hybridization of JA and LA, respectively.The optimal placement as well as sizing of D-STATCTOM is accomplished by meeting the objectives like "Demand meet, Voltage Stability Index (VSI), Cost of Energy loss (CEL), Cost of DSATCOM and Voltage Stability Margin (VSM)".Finally, a performance based evaluation is accomplished with JCF-LA based optimal placement and sizing model over the other optimization models.Here, the D-STATCOM cost of the proposed work with JCF-LA is 320($), while the D-STATCOM cost of the proposed work with ABC, JA, LA, PSO and GWO is 376.54($),376.49($), 376.41($), 376.55($) and 376.26($), respectively.
