Abstract
The proposed research work minimizes the power loss in distribution system under load conditions which is the major issue nowadays that has been reduced to reach the maximum possible power for satisfying the customer needs. Optimal siting of Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) and Photo-Voltaic (PV) array in distribution system is used to attain voltage profile improvement, reduced voltage instability and less power loss. For this, Improved Lightning Search Algorithm (ILSA) has been proposed to accomplish the objectives. The proposed ILSA has reached the Voltage Stability Index (VSI) value as 0.9877 and it outstandingly decreased the power loss to 55.92 kW which are validated with IEEE 30-bus system using MATLAB toolbox. The obtained results are compared with the existing optimization algorithms and it depicts that the proposed ILSA is more advantageous than other optimization algorithms.
