Abstract
In this paper, a new method for improving reliability level of distribution systems is presented by employing optimal placement of DSTATCOM. The binary version of the Gravitational Search algorithm (BGSA) is used to solve the DSTATCOM optimal placement problem. The simulation results show that the proposed method is efficient and feasible for improving the system reliability level by reducing load outages and momentary interruptions.
