Abstract

This paper proposes the optimal problem of location and power of the battery-energy-storage-system (BESS) on the distribution system (DS) considering different penetration levels of distributed generations (DGs). The objective is to minimize electricity cost of the DS in a typical day considering the power limit of DG fed to the DS. Growth optimizer (GO) is first applied to search the BESS’s location and power for each interval of the day. The considered problem and GO method are evaluated on the 18-node DS with two penetrations levels of photovoltaic system and wind turbine. The results demonstrate that the optimal BESS placement significantly reduces electricity cost. Furthermore, the optimal BESS location and power also help to reduce the cut capacity of DGs as their power greater than the load demand. The compared results between GO and particle swarm optimization (PSO) method have shown that GO reaches the better performance than PSO in term the optimal solution and the statistical results. Thus, GO is an effective approach for the BESS placement problem.

Abstract

Installation of distribution generation (DG) in the distribution system gains many technical benefits. To obtain more benefits, the location and size of DG must be selected with the appropriate values. This paper presents a method for optimizing location and size of DG in the distribution system based on enhanced sunflower optimization (ESFO) to minimize power loss of the system. In which, based on the operational mechanisms of the original sunflower optimization (SFO), a mutation technique is added for updating the best plant. The calculated results on the 33 nodes test system have shown that ESFO has proficiency for determining the best location and size of DG with higher quality than SFO. The compared results with the previous methods have also shown that ESFO outperforms to other methods in term of power loss reduction. As a result, ESFO is a reliable approach for the DG optimization problem.

Abstract

This paper suggests a modified version of the former economic load dispatch (MELD) problem with the integration of wind power plant (WPP) and solar power plants (SPP) into thermal units (TUs). The target of the whole study is to cut the total producing electricity cost (TPEC) as much as possible. Three meta-heuristic algorithms, including particle swarm optimization (PSO), jellyfish search (JS) and salp swarm algorithm (SSA), are applied to solve the MELD. The real performance of these optimization tools is tested on the first system with six thermal units considering prohibited zones, and the second system with the combination of the first system and one solar, and two WPPs. In addition, the variation of load demand in 24 hours per day is also taken into account in the second system. JS is proved to be the most effective method for dealing with MELD. Furthermore, JS can also reach lower or the same TPEC as other previous algorithms. Hence, JS is a recommended to be a strong computing method for dealing with the MELD problem.
