The use of a mixed-integer linear formulation guarantees convergence to optimality using existing optimization software. The results of one test system and one real distribution system are presented in order to show the accuracy as well as the efficiency of the proposed solution technique. © 2011 IEEE.engAMPLCPLEXDistribution system optimizationmixed-integer linear programmingoptimal allocation of capacitorsDistribution systemsMixed integer linear programmingOptimal allocationCapacitorsDistributed power generationInnovationInteger programmingLinear programmingLocal area networksOptimizationSmart power gridsDistributed computer systemsTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/ISGT-LA.2011.6083188Acesso aberto2-s2.0-83455172660
