本論文提出蜜蜂繁殖演算法求解配電系統電容器之最佳位置及容量，此方法係將蜜蜂繁殖行為予以分析模擬，進而將其應用於最佳化問題之求解。而由於配電系統中之電容器對於饋線壓降之變化、饋線損失量之多寡及系統功因之良好均具有十分重要之影響，亟有必要需於系統規劃尹始即完成一具有高品質之供電環境，故本文即將所提之方法應用至配電系統電容器選址及容量決策之參考，茲由系統測試結果及與部分演算法相較，此演算法確於電容器規劃之選址及容量決策擬定上，均具有較佳效能，應有助於配電系統規劃施行之需。

This thesis has proposed a marriage in honey bee algorithm to solve the capacitor placement problems. By developing based on the behavior mimic of marriage in honey bee, the method is seen effectively to solve optimization problems with high appreciation, hence motivating to utilize for decision support of capacitor placement in a distribution problem that include the considerations in regard to reduction of voltage variation, decrement of line loss, and improvement of power factors. To solidify the contribution of the method, this approach has been also employed to solve several simulated and practical scenarios. Test results support the feasibility of the method, thereby presenting as a useful reference for academic study and distribution practitioners.
