Abstract: This paper presents a binary gravitational search algorithm (BGSA) is applied to solve the problem of optimal allotment of Shunt capacitors in radial distribution systems. In this work, total line loss (TLL) and the total voltage deviations (TVD) are to be minimized separately by incorporating optimal placement of shunt capacitors with constraints which include limits on voltage, sizes of installed capacitors. This BGSA is applied on the balanced IEEE 12-Bus distribution network and the results are compared with conventional binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO).
