The insertion of capacitors in the power distribution system is one of the effective solutions to improve voltage quality, reduce power losses, and improve the operational efficiency of the power grid. This study aims to analyze the effect of capacitor insertion in the electrical system using the fuzzy method, which focuses on determining the optimal location and size of the capacitor. The fuzzy method was chosen because of its ability to handle uncertainty and variability in electrical system parameters, such as bus voltage and Power Loss Index (PLI). The results showed that by using the fuzzy method, the location and size of the capacitor can be determined more precisely, resulting in an increase in the voltage on the bus that previously decreased, as well as a significant reduction in active and reactive power losses. The reduction in active power losses reached 4.868% and reactive power losses reached 5.973%. The insertion of capacitors optimized by the fuzzy method has proven effective in improving the stability, efficiency, and reliability of the power distribution system, and can be used as a solution to reduce power losses in the electrical system.
