Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive genetic algorithm for the capacitor placement problem in a radial distribution system is presented. Based on the measure of the superiority of an individual called elite degree, the adaptive GA dynamically tunes GA parameters such as crossover and mutation during the GA run. The proposed GA is applied to test distribution systems including IEEE 69 with successful results.
