Injection of shunt capacitor and tap changing transformer for loss minimization in power system

This project focuses on injection of shunt capacitor and tap-changing transformer for loss minimizations in power system. Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) is used to determine the sensitive bus. To minimize losses, Shunt capacitor and Tap changing transformer are used. When the sensitive bus was chosen, the size of Shunt Capacitor is determined then followed by Tap changing transformer. Finally Shunt Capacitor and Tap changing transformer are combined. An IEEE 6-bus, 9-bus and 30-bus Reliability Test System (RTS) are used for simulation. All simulations were done using MATLAB R2009b.
