Abstract
In this work, a methodology to find the optimal allocation (i.e., sizing and location) of Distributed Generators (DGs) and Distribution-static compensators (D-STATCOM) in a radial distribution system (RDS) is proposed. Here, the voltage stability index (VSI) is utilized to find the optimal location for the D-STATCOM, and loss sensitivity factor (LSF) method is utilized to find the optimal location for distributed generation. In this work, the proposed work is formulated as a non-linear optimization problem and it is solved using the meta-heuristic/evolutionary-based algorithm. The evolutionary-based Bat algorithm is used to find optimal sizes of D-STATCOM and DGs in RDSs. To check the validity and feasibility and validity of the proposed optimal allocation approach, two standard IEEE 34 and 85 bus RDSs are considered in this paper. The simulation results show reduction in power losses and enhancement in bus voltages in the RDSs.
