                    Abstract :
                    In  this  paper,  A  novel  modified  optimization  method  was  used  to  find the  optimal  location  and  size  for  placing  distribution  Static  Compensator  in the  radial  distribution  test  feeder  in  order  to  improve  its  performance  by minimizing  the  total  power  losses  of  the  test  feeder,  enhancing  the  voltage profile   and   reducing   the   costs.   The   modified   grey   wolf   optimization algorithm is used for the first time to solve this kind of optimization problem. An objective  function  was  developed  to  study the  radial  distribution  system included  total  power  loss  of  the  system  and  costs  due  to  power  loss  in system.  The  proposed  method  is  applied  to  two  different  test  distribution feeders (33 bus and 69 bus test systems) using different Dstatcom sizes and the acquired resultswere analyzed and compared to other recent optimization methods  applied  to  the  same  test  feedersto  ensure  the  effectiveness  ofthe  used  method  and  its  superiority  over  other  recent  optimization  mehods. The  major  findings  from  obtained  results  that  the  applied  technique  foundthe  most  minimized  total  power  loss  in  system,  the  best  improved  voltage profile  and  most  reduction  in  costs  due  power  loss  compared  to  other methods
