The test problem involves the determination of the optimal number, location, and size of fixed and switched capacitors at different loading conditions so that the network total yearly cost is minimized with simultaneous fulfillment of operating constraints. Also, the hourly on\/off scheduling plans of switched shunt capacitors (SCs) considering a modified cost objective function are obtained. The proposed ISFS algorithm has been tested on two IEEE 69-bus and 119-bus RDNs and a practical 152-bus RDN. For clarifying the effectiveness and validation of the ISFS, the simulated results have been compared with those of other previously utilized solution approaches in the literature as well as the original SFS. From result comparison, the proposed ISFS outperforms other previous approaches regarding solution quality and statistical performance for the compared cases, especially in the complex and large-scale networks. Notably, compared with the original SFS, the proposed ISFS shows a significantly better performance in all the tested cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/8811674","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,1]],"date-time":"2020-12-01T21:50:13Z","timestamp":1606859413000},"page":"1-32","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Capacitor Allocation Problem in Radial Distribution Networks Using an Improved Stochastic Fractal Search Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5531-0223","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Phuoc Tri","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Power Systems, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), 268 Ly Thuong Kiet Street, District 10, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8508-8990","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Thi","family":"Nguyen Anh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Power Systems, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), 268 Ly Thuong Kiet Street, District 10, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8653-5724","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dieu","family":"Vo Ngoc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Power Systems, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), 268 Ly Thuong Kiet Street, District 10, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam"},{"name":"Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, Linh Trung Ward, Thu Duc District, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam"}]},{"given":"Tung","family":"Le Thanh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Tra Vinh University, 126 Nguyen Thien Thanh Street, Tra Vinh, Vietnam"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijepes.2010.11.021"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40031-014-0157-1"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/61.847278"},{"first-page":"1","article-title":"Particle swarm optimization based capacitor placement on radial distribution systems","author":"K.
