Abstract :This present approach suggests a bio-inspired bat algorithm for optimal sizing of Distribution STATic COMpensator insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DSTATCOM); to mitigate the total power loss of the system in the radial distribution systems insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RDS);. In the present approach, a new voltage stability factor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VSF); is utilized to identify the optimal placement for installation of DSTATCOM and the proposed VSF is compared with other stability indices. Bat algorithm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BA); is used to search the optimal size of DSTATCOM. The backward/forward sweep insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BFS); algorithm is established for the power flow calculations. To verify the feasibility of the proposed work, it has been implemented on standard IEEE 33-bus RDS. The outcomes obtained using the proposed method shows that the optimal location of DSTATCOM in RDS adequately mitigates the loss at the same time enhances the bus voltages.
