| Summary: | The major problems faced by utility companies are to provide standard voltage levels and to minimize system power losses. This paper introduces a coordinated allocation of multiple distributed reactive energy resources to regulate system voltage and minimize power loss-es. For this purpose sensitivity study is used to determine the appropriate location for placing distributed reactive energy resources and thereby reduce the search. The Al-Ain power distribution network (AADN) is considered as a real-world case study. For the AADN un-der investigation, a suitable objective function is formulated to lessen the installation cost and electric power losses. The problem is re-solved by using the tabu search optimization method and DIgSILENT PowerFactory simulation software. Results depict that the pro-posed method can minimize system electric power losses and improve voltage regulation. |
