This paper proposes a new approach to determine the optimal location and sizing of Distributed Generation (DG) and Distribution STATic COMpensator (DSTATCOM) simultaneously in the distribution network. The objective function is formulated to minimize the total power losses of the system subjected to equality and inequality constraints. Loss sensitivity factor (LSF) and Voltage Stability Index (VSI) are used to predetermine the optimal location of DG and DSTATCOM, respectively. Recently developed nature-inspired cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) has been used to determine the optimal size of both DG and DSTATCOM. In the present work, five different cases have been considered during DG and DSTATCOM placement to access the performance of the proposed technique. To check the feasibility, the proposed method is tested on IEEE 12-bus, 34-bus, and 69-bus radial distribution system and the results were compared with other existing techniques.

Optimal location and sizing of capacitor placement in radial distribution system using Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm

This paper presents a novel integration technique for optimal network reconfiguration and distributed generation (DG) placement in distribution system with an objective of power loss minimization and voltage stability enhancement. Fireworks Algorithm (FWA) is used to simultaneously reconfigure and allocate optimal DG units in a distribution network. FWA is a new swarm intelligence based optimization algorithm which is conceptualized using the fireworks explosion process of searching for a best location of sparks. The radial nature of the network is secured by generating proper parent node-child node path of the network during power flow. Voltage Stability Index (VSI) is used to pre-identify the optimal candidate locations for DG installation. Six different scenarios are considered during DG placement and reconfiguration of network to assess the performance of the proposed technique. Simulations are carried out on well-known IEEE 33- and 69-bus test systems at three different load levels. The simulated results demonstrate well the performance and effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
