Optimal allocation of capacitors in radial/mesh distribution systems using mixed integer nonlinear programming approach

•A new MINLP approach is proposed for capacitor placement.•The proposed method is applied to the radial and mesh distribution systems.•Objective of capacitor placement is reduction costs of capacitor and power losses.•The capacitor placement solves using GAMS software with SBB and MINLP solvers.•The...
