Abstract

The importance of distributed generation (DG) has increased recently as a result of the growth in commercial and industrial loads, which has put more pressure on conventional energy sources and utilities. Alternative power generation methods that can handle the massive load without endangering the environment are therefore urgently needed. The installation of Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) may give a substantial opportunity to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the distribution system. DG is a practical substitute for conventional energy sources, which have drawbacks for both the economics and the environment. It goes without saying that there are situations in which a large amount of land and money are required. However, improper DG location or sizing increases safety issues because to the increasing power loss caused by larger reverse flow from the load to the supply. In order to reduce power losses and maintain voltage stability, the ideal location and dimensions for the DG and ESS in IEEE Radial Distribution systems are evaluated. To accomplish these objectives, a hybrid Shuffled Frog Leap Algorithm (SFLA) and Improved Firefly Algorithm (SFLA-IFFA) is suggested. The SFLA-IFFA produced better results in terms of the ideal location and DG size when compared to other existing algorithms.
