Abstract
Reactive power compensation (RPC) is a big problem during power system operation. Parenthetically, capacitor allocation and sizing may be the only convenient solution for RPC of power systems. The loss sensitivity factor (LSF) is applied here for finding the optimum capacitor position. This paper presents quasi-oppositional fast convergence evolutionary programming (QOFCEP), fast convergence evolutionary programming (FCEP), and evolutionary programming (EP) for the optimum location and sizing of shunt capacitors in the isolated microgrid (MG) for minimizing total real power loss throughout the day with and without the demand response program (DRP). The 33-node, 69-node, and 118-node isolated MGs have been studied to authenticate the efficacy of the suggested approach. Each MG includes small hydro power plants (SHPPs), solar PV plants (SPVPs), wind turbine generators (WTGs), diesel generators (DGs), and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs).
1 Introduction
Reactive power flow creates several problems, e.g., power loss, voltage drip, and low power factor in the distribution system (DS). Therefore, reactive power compensation (RPC) plays the chief role in the power system for minimizing the operational cost (Abdelaziz et al., 2016). There are few solutions for RPC in the DS, among which the placement of the capacitor is one of the most apposite and efficient. Hence, to find the optimum position and sizing of the capacitor for attaining financial benefits is the paramount purpose of this study. Several methods have been proposed for finding the optimum position and sizing of the capacitor. The multi-objective capacitor placement in the DS, taking into account both the nonlinear load and the power quality constraint, has been presented in Azevedo et al. (2016). The fuzzy multi-objective immune algorithm was applied for finding the optimum position and sizing of the capacitor in Huang et al. (2008). Sultana and Roy (2014) applied the teaching–learning-based optimization technique for the capacitor placement in the DS so as to decrease power loss and operational cost. The cuckoo search algorithm was applied for allocating fixed plus switched capacitor in the DS so as to minimize the operational cost and voltage profile improvement at the different loads in El-Fergany (2013). Mohamed Shuaib et al. (2015) introduced the loss sensitivity factor (LSF) for reducing search space. The hybrid honey bee colony algorithm was applied for the optimum capacitor placement in Taher and Bagherpour (2013). Mekhamer et al. (2003); Das (2008) applied the fuzzy logic for the optimum capacitor placement in the DS. The optimum planning of the capacitor plus distributed generation allocation has been concurrently implemented in Rahmani-andebili (2016). The optimum placement of the capacitor in the microgrid (MG) has been presented in Al-Askari et al. (2005). Probabilistic optimum reactive power scheduling in the DS incorporating renewable energy sources in the grid-connected mode and the islanded mode using the tabu search method has been discussed in Arefifar and Mohamed (2014). Farag and El-Saadany (2015) applied the genetic algorithm for optimum capacitor allocation in islanded multi MGs. Tolabia et al. (2020) applied the thief and police method for minimizing power loss, operating cost, and improving network voltage stability simultaneously reconfiguring optimum capacitor allocation and distributed generation units. Parvaneh et al. (2023) presented the merit of capacitor bank placement and DRP implementation on optimum operation of islanded MGs.
Yasin Ghadi et al. (2023) presented a hybrid GA–SFLA algorithm for reconfiguring and placement of energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and distributed generation (DG) in a distribution network. Dashtdar et al. (2022a) formulated and solved the problem of the optimal operation of MGs with demand-side management using the combination of the genetic algorithm and artificial bee colony optimization techniques. Dashtdar et al. (2020) applied the genetic algorithm to calculate the locational marginal price (LMP) and optimal power flow problem based on congestion management. Dashtdar et al. (2021) applied the genetic algorithm for reducing LMP and resolving the congestion of the lines based on the placement and optimal size of DG in the power network. Dashtdar et al. (2022b) used a hybrid FA-GA multi-objective algorithm to solve the environmental/economic dispatch problem. Dashtdar et al. (2022c) used the improved artificial bee colony algorithm for solving the optimal size and place of DG in the distribution network based on nodal pricing. Shaheen et al. (2023) used the enhanced transient search optimization technique for the optimal solution of the ORPD problem by integrating electric vehicles.
Evolutionary programming (EP; Fogel, 1994; Yao et al., 1999) is a very dependable evolutionary algorithm founded on humanoid inherited chromosome operation. In fast convergence evolutionary programming (FCEP; Basu, 2017), creating offspring is done by Gaussian and Cauchy mutations, and one-to-one competition is instigated in EP for improving the speed of convergence and the quality of solution.
Quasi-opposition-based learning (QOBL) was initiated by Rahnamayan et al. (Rahnamayan et al.). The chief notion behind QOBL is seeking a better contender solution which is nearer to the global optimal solution. The concept of QOBL is incorporated in FCEP for improving the efficiency and solution quality. Quasi-oppositional fast convergence evolutionary programming (QOFCEP) applies QOBL for populace initialization and generation jumping.
The present study aims to minimize the total real power loss all over the day by optimizing the size and placement of shunt capacitors in an isolated MG with and without DRP. The optimum locations of the shunt capacitors are attained using the LSF. This problem has been solved by utilizing QOFCEP, FCEP, and EP. Three isolated MGs, e.g., IEEE 33-bus, IEEE 69-bus, and IEE 118-bus systems, are used for authentication. Each isolated MG includes small hydro power plants (SHPPs), solar PV plants (SPVPs), wind turbine generators (WTGs), diesel generators (DGs), and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). The configuration of 33-bus, 69-bus, and 118-bus isolated MG is shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, and Supplementary Figure S1, respectively.

2.2.2.1 Optimal location of the capacitor
By using the LSF, the candidate buses for the capacitor placement are determined.
The LSF was used for identifying the optimum capacitor location. The position of the capacitor was selected from the buses with the highest value of LSF. Loss sensitivity analysis was used to find the optimum location for the capacitor placement. The node with the highest LSF value has more chance for capacitor installation. The detail derivation of LSF was found in Das and Banerjee (2014).
2.2.2.2 Distributed generation modeling
Four kinds of distributed generation have been used. Two of them have been characterized by delivering active power and lagging reactive power into a distribution bus like to DGs and SHPPs. The WTG is represented by delivering active power into the distribution bus and taking lagging reactive power from the distribution bus. SPVP is represented by delivering only active power to the distribution bus.
2.2.2.3 Diesel generator
The generated active and reactive power of DGs should be within its capacity limits (Das and Banerjee, 2014).
The operational range of each DG is limited by their ramp rate limits (Das and Banerjee, 2014).
2.2.2.4 Solar power model

2.2.2.6 Small hydro power plant
The production of power of SHPP (Wood and Wollenberg, 1996) as a function of the water discharge rate plus reservoir stowing capacity is computed as (Wood and Wollenberg, 1996)
Hydraulic operative constraints which comprise the water equilibrium equation for each SHPP and restriction on the reservoir water stowing capacity, as well as the water ejection rate, are as follows:
a) Physical restrictions on reservoir water stowing the volume plus water discharge rate (Wood and Wollenberg, 1996):
b) Continuity equation for every hydro reservoir system (Wood and Wollenberg, 1996):
2.2.2.7 Plug-in electric vehicle
Energy consumed by every PEV is dependent on traveling. Stowed levels of energy of every PEV are specified by Equation 23. Eq. 24 specifies the minimum and maximum limits of SOC for every PEV. The power consumed by every PEV throughout the traveling mode is specified by (25). The acceptable charging and discharging rates of every PEV are specified by Equations 26, 27, respectively. The performance of every PEV is specified by Eq. 28 (Wood and Wollenberg, 1996).where denotes SOC of PEV at hour t, respectively. , , and are the charging efficiency, discharging efficiency, and efficiency of PEV , respectively. The power consumed throughout the time of traveling and distance of traveling of PEV at hour t are specified by and , respectively. Furthermore, and are the upper and lower stowed energies of every PEV, respectively. and are the binary variables demonstrating charging and discharging, respectively.

3 Description of quasi-oppositional fast convergence evolutionary programming
In FCEP, Gaussian and Cauchy mutations are used for creating offspring (Basu, 2017), and one-to-one contest is instigated in EP to augment the speed of convergence and quality solution.
3.1 Opposition-based learning
Tizhoosh (2005a); Tizhoosh(2005b) instigated OBL for enhancing the candidate solution by checking the existing populace and its opposite concurrently. EP begins after initializing the populace and attempts for enhancing them in the direction of the optimal solution.
3.2 Quasi-opposition-based learning
Rahnamayan et al. has instigated QOBL (Rahnamayan et al.) for enhancing the candidate solution by checking the current populace and its quasi-opposite populace concurrently. The process can be boosted by starting with a fitter solution by simultaneously testing the quasi-opposite solution. Thus, the fitter one among the estimate and quasi-opposite estimate may be chosen as the initial solution. The same approach may be used for the initial solution and continuously to each solution in the current populace.
3.2.1 Definition of the opposite number and quasi-opposite number
If is a real number amongst , its opposite number and its quasi-opposite number are characterized as (Rahnamayan et al.)and
3.2.2 Definition of the opposite and quasi-opposite points
Let be a point in -dimensional space where and . The opposite point is characterized by its components as described in (36) (Rahnamayan et al.).
The quasi-opposite point is fully defined by its components, as shown in (37) (Rahnamayan et al.).
3.2.3 Quasi-opposition-based optimization
Let be a point in -dimensional space i.e., a candidate solution. Assuming is a fitness function used to measure candidate’s fitness. is the quasi-opposite of . For a minimization problem, if , the point can be replaced with ; else, the process is continued with . Thus, the point and its quasi-opposite point have been assessed simultaneously in order to continue with fitter one.

4.2 Discussion
It is observed from Supplementary Table S1, Supplementary Table S2, and Supplementary Table S3 that total real power loss is least with both RPC and DRP.
