Abstract
Custom power devices (CPD) are used to protect conventional and sensitive loads against power quality disturbances such as voltage sag/swell and harmonic distortion in power systems. The proper placement of CPDs has an important effect on the quality of improvement and ensures that the total costs are minimal in accordance with maximum efficiency. This paper presents a survey of the literature in the last decade that have focused on the various optimization techniques applied to determine optimal placement and size of CPD.
