Abstract :
This paper deals with a method for the optimal settings of distributed sources in order to reduce power losses and to keep bus voltages within permissible range in the distribution network. The optimal reactive dispatch of generators may be considered as a complex optimization problem. In this paper a Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) as a suitable tool is used.
