Abstract
Distribution networks planning is a very complex task as it involves the consideration of various important issues. A model for optimal planning of a distribution network is presented in detail, using Distributed Generation (DG). This paper presented a detailed analysis of the West Delta Network (WDN) as a part of the Egyptian distribution network with a 30% increase in system loading. An Oscillatory Particle Swarm Optimization (OPSO) technique was used to find the optimal locations and sizes of one DG or multiple DGs for achieving the objectives of minimizing total active power losses and system voltage regulation as a single-and-multi-objective optimization problem in a distribution network. Several penetration scenarios have done to evaluate concentrated (at one location) and distributed DGs (at different locations). The results are presented in a comparative form and thoroughly discussed. The obtained results will help in system operation with DG integration and identifying the critical penetration levels for the studied system.
