Abstract

This paper proposes an improved cuckoo search (ICSA) for solving the distribution network reconfiguration (NR) problem with multi-objective function. The membership functions are considered consisting of minimizing of power loss, load balancing among branches and among the feeders, node voltage deviation and switching operation numbers. ICSA is developed from the original CSA with adding the local search mechanism for exploiting around the current best solution. The effectiveness of the ICSA has validated on the 70-node and the 83-node practical systems. The obtained results have been compared to those from runner root algorithm (RRA) and other methods in the literature. The obtained results demonstrate that ICSA has high ability for searching the optimal solution with higher successful rate and better quality of obtained solution as well as smaller iterations compared to RRA and other methods. Therefore, ICSA is a reliable method for the multi-objective NR problems.

Abstract

Network reconfiguration (NR) is a powerful approach for power loss reduction in the distribution system. This paper presents a method of network reconfiguration using adaptive sunflower optimization (ASFO) to minimize power loss of the distribution system. ASFO is developed based on the original sunflower optimization (SFO) that is inspired from moving of sunflower to the sun. In ASFO, the mechanisms including pollination, survival and mortality mechanisms have been adjusted compared to the original SFO to fit with the network reconfiguration problem. The numerical results on the 14-node and 33-node systems have shown that ASFO outperforms to SFO for finding the optimal network configuration with greater success rate and better obtained solution quality. The comparison results with other previous approaches also indicate that ASFO has better performance than other methods in term of optimal network configuration. Thus, ASFO is a powerful method for the NR.

Abstract

Maximizing capacity of distributed generations (DGs) embed into distribution network is a solution to attract investment for DGs installation on the distribution system. This paper introduces a approach of optimizing location and capacity of DGs for maximizing DGs capacity and minimizing the system’s power loss based on cuckoo search algorithm (CSA). The proposed problem and method are simulated on two test systems including the 33-node and 69-node networks. The numerical results have demonstrated that the proposed method not only reduces power losses but also maximizes the power of DGs embed into the distribution network. The results also introduce that the proposed CSA method is better performance that some previous methods in terms of power loss and DGs capacity. The results obtained in many independent runs for two test systems indicate that CSA in one of the reliable methods for the DGs placement problems.

Abstract

In this paper, optimal load dispatch problem under competitive electric market (OLDCEM) is solved by the combination of cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) and a new constraint handling approach, called modified cuckoo search algorithm (MCSA). In addition, we also employ the constraint handling method for salp swarm algorithm (SSA) and particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) to form modified SSA (MSSA) and modified PSO (MPSO). The three methods have been tested on 3-unit system and 10-unit system under the consideration of payment model for power reserve allocated, and constraints of system and generators. Result comparisons among MCSA and CSA indicate that the proposed constraint handling method is very useful for metaheuristic algorithms when solving OLDCEM problem. As compared to MSSA, MPSO as well as other previous methods, MCSA is more effective by finding higher total benefit for the two systems with faster manner and lower oscillations. Consequently, MCSA method is a very effective technique for OLDCEM problem in power systems.

Abstract

The mismatch between load demand and supply power may increase when distributed generation based on renewable energy sources is connected to the distribution system (DS). This paper shows the optimal battery energy storage system (BESS) placement problem on the DS to minimize the electricity cost. Diverse electricity prices are considered for normal, off-peak and peak hours in a day. Wild geese algorithm (WGA) is applied to optimize the location and power of the BESS. The problem and the efficiency of WGA is validated on the 18-bus DS four scenarios consisting of the DS without BESS placement, the DS with BESS placement, the DS existing photovoltaic system (PVS) without BESS placement and the DS existing PVS with BESS placement. The numerical results show that optimal BESS placement is an effective solution for minimizing electricity cost on the DS with and without PVS. In addition, the results have also shown that WGA is a potential method for the BESS placement problem.
