Abstract :
This paper presents a new evolutionary technique i.e. `Differential Evolution Algorithm with Loss Sensitivity Factor´ method for optimizing the sizes and locations of shunt capacitors in radial distribution network so as to minimize the active power loss. The technique is applied on IEEE 33 and 70 bus networks. The proposed method gives more promising results when compared to previous algorithms.
