Multi-objective for optimal placement and sizing DG units in reducing loss of power and enhancing voltage profile using BPSO-SLFA

Abstract

Algorithms are used to optimize both single and multi-objective system limits. This research aimed to detect the optimal location and size of the DGs, which can significantly minimize power loss and improve the stability of the voltage. The research uses binary particle swarm optimization and shuffled frog leap (BPSO-SLFA) algorithms for simulation and testing of an optimal power flow (OPF) on 33 and 69 bus radial distribution system. The result shows that the algorithms give better DG allocation and minimizes the power losses but at the nascent stage of advancement. The power losses associated with the system have significantly reduced up to 31.8244kW using multi-DGs reconfiguration placement. The outcomes are established to verify the potency of the recommend algorithm to minimize losses, general improvement in voltage profiles and cost saving for various distribution system. However, the proposed methodology can be used as a reliable method in DG settings and sizing in distribution network system which produce better outputs rather than hybrid grey wolf optimization (GWO) and hybrid big bang big crunch.
