description Power systems are complicated to be solved due to vast geographical location and are influenced by many unexpected weather events. The rapidly increasing population growth and the expansion of urban development are undoubtedly the main reasons for increasing electrical power demands that may affect the system voltage stability and the energy loss. Accurate long-term load forecasting (LTLF) is essential for load demand requirements. It is particularly significant under the influence of various weather factors, such as relative humidity and temperature. The research work presented in this thesis had investigated the effect of two additional weather parameters, namely wind speed and rainfall, in addition to the temperature and relative humidity using artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in predicting the values of load demands. Moreover, the optimal allocation and sizing of the capacitor bank (C) and distributed generation (DG) were studied with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to maintain the profile of bus voltages while reducing the energy loss of the network. This technique was also applied to the load incremental of 5% annually up to 40% for system planning purposes.
