Genetic Algorithms and Satin Bowerbird Optimization for optimal allocation of distributed generators in radial system

Abstract

In this document, the topic of discussion is the combination of two existing algorithms to generate a new hybrid technique. The two algorithms that are subjected to said amalgamation are Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Stain Bowerbird Optimization algorithms (SBO). These two methodologies have profound utility themselves and are used in a multitude of scenarios. The easy application and the constructive outcomes manifested by these two algorithms birthed the idea of their combined usage. Following up on this, the hybrid GASBO was created. GASBO was an optimization approach used to detect and categorize the allotted renewable energy assets in a specific energy generation complex. This was done to regulate the energy dispensing systems otherwise known as ‘distributing’ systems. These renewable resources are reflected by environmental factors and the energy they create is also dependent on their surroundings. Factors like sunlight, rain, waves, and tides etcetera play major roles in determining the outcome of the created energy.Contrary to what it may appear like, the position of the DG sources in the structure affects the outcome a lot. These sources contain fuel cells and photovoltaic cells: in short, devices that can harness energy from a seemingly infinite supply like sunlight. As mentioned before, the GASBO assisted in providing the best location for the system and it also categorized the sources according to their abilities. The potential and position of the sources in the grid are of vast importance. The main purpose of GASBO is to optimize the overall system by improving its efficiency and reducing collateral harm. This shows that GASBO is quite a fundamental tool. It has also been tested on several systems like IEEE 33-bus. The facts in this paper are based on published projects.
