In order to solve the problem in reactive power compensation of oilfield distribution systems at present, a Taboo search algorithm is proposed in this paper, by which the optimal location and size of shunt capacitors on distribution systems are determined. Then the voltage profile is improved and the active power loss is reduced. In this paper, Voltage qualified is used as objective function to search an initial solution that meets the voltage constraints so that it is feasible in practicable voltage range; then the global optimum solution can be got when taking the reduced maximum of active power loss as objective unction. The examples show that the improved algorithm is feasible and effective.

In this paper, a reactive power compensation system using static VAR compensator is presented. To confine on system stability and reliability, the reactive power compensation is the fundamental way forflexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). The variations of reactive power have an effect on thegenerating units, lines, circuit breakers, transformers, relays, and isolators. It can also cause effective voltage sags and increase losses. In the proposed system, the lead time between voltage pulse and curren pulse is measured and fed to the interrupt pins of the microcontroller where the program takes over to bring the shunt capacitors to the circuit to get the reactive power compensated. Back-to-back SCRs interfaced through optical isolation from the microcontroller are used in parallel for controlling the capacitor.
