In the literature, many works have been delivered for optimal capacitor placement, however, these works were simulated in a distribution network, not in an industry network with many large capacity induction motors. Therefore, this work proposes the optimal allocation of capacitors in a large industry with a significant amount of induction motor loads to minimize network losses. To determine the optimal capacitor location, this research uses the genetic algorithm (GA) method. This algorithm is interesting because of its simplicity and ability to discover optimal solutions comprehensively. ## Keywords - Induction motor - Capacitor - Genetic algorithm - Computer science - Power (physics) - Work (physics) - Optimal allocation - Mathematical optimization - Control theory (sociology) - Engineering - Electrical engineering - Mathematics - Voltage - Mechanical engineering - Control (management) - Physics - Quantum mechanics - Machine learning - Artificial intelligence --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
