Abstract
Abstract Optimal placement of Distributed Generation (DG) is a crucial challenge for Distribution Companies (DISCO’s) to run the distribution network in good operating conditions. Optimal positioning of DG units is an optimization issue where maximization of DISCO’s additional benefit due to the installation of DG units in the network is considered to be an objective function. In this article, the self adaptive levy flight based black widow optimization algorithm is used as an optimization strategy to find the optimum position and size of the DG units. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the IEEE 15 and PG & E 69 bus management systems in the MATLAB environment. Based on the simulation performance, it has been found that with the correct location and size of the DG modules, the distribution network can be run with maximum DISCO’s additional benefit.
