This paper, presents capacitor and photovoltaic (PV) placement as alternative means to decrease power system losses. The paper aims to evaluate the best alternative for decreasing power system losses and improving voltage profile in the radial distribution system. To achieve the objectives of paper, they are used three cases tested by Electric Transient and Analysis Program (ETAP) simulation. Firstly, it performs simulation of placement capacitor. Secondly, simulated placement of PV. Lastly, it runs simulation of placement capacitor and PV simultaneously. The simulations were validated using the IEEE 34-bus test system. As a result, they proved that the installation of capacitor and PV integration simultaneously leading to voltage profile correction and power losses minimization significantly. ## Keywords - Capacitor - Photovoltaic system - Minification - Electric power system - Power (physics) - Transient (computer programming) - Voltage - Engineering - Electrical engineering - Electronic engineering - Computer science - Automotive engineering - Operating system - Physics - Programming language - Quantum mechanics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
