An Analytical Method for Optimal Capacitors Placement from the Inversed Reduced Jacobian Matrix

Abstract This paper presents a novel analytical methodology to determine location for optimal shunt capacitor placement in power systems. The new method modifies modal analysis technique and develops new formulation to compute the Reactive Contribution Index (RCI) of each load buses based on the inversed reduced Jacobian matrix. The objective of this study is to achieve the most stable condition as well as to minimize network losses. The proposed method is implemented at the modified IEEE 30-bus Reliability Test System (RTS). The simulation results show the proposed method can provide a solution to the ideal shunt capacitor placement to improve the system's voltage stability.
