Multi-objective simultaneous DG and DSTATCOM allocation in radial distribution networks using cuckoo searching algorithm

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

Optimal location and size of distributed generation (DG) in the distribution system play a significant role in minimizing power losses, operational cost and improving voltage stability. This paper presents a new approach to find the optimal location and size of DG with an objective of minimizing network power losses, operational costs and improving voltage stability. Loss sensitivity factor is used to identify the optimal locations for installation of DG units. Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) is used to find the optimal size of DG. BFOA is a swarm intelligence technique which models the individual and group foraging policies of the Escherichia coli bacteria as a distributed optimization process. The technical constraints of voltage and branch current carrying capacity are included in the assessment of the objective function. The proposed method has been tested on IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus radial distribution systems with various load models at different load levels to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the technique. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. © 2013ElsevierB.V.
