This paper presents particle swarm optimization (PSO) and honey bee mating optimization (HBMO) algorithms for capacitor placement in the power transmission system so that determines the optimal locations and number of capacitors with an objective of voltage profile improvement and power loss reduction. The solution methodology has two parts: part one determines the number and size of capacitors and in part two a new hybrid PSO and HBMO algorithms is used to estimate the optimal bus of capacitors at the optimal sizes and numbers at part one. The main advantage of the proposed method is faster run speed than other methods. The proposed method is applied to 14-bus IEEE transmission system. The results obtained by the proposed method are compared with PSO method. The proposed method has outperformed the other methods in terms of the quality of solution (Convergence speed and size of the objective function).
