Abstract

A novel approach is proposed in this paper for optimal placement of DG units in reconfigured distribution system with the aim of reduction of real power losses while satisfying operating constraints. The proposed analytical method for optimal DG placement is developed based on a new mathematical formulation. Type-I and type-II DG units are used here. The results of the proposed technique are validated on IEEE 69 bus distribution system. The level of DG penetration is also considered in a range of 0–50% of total system load. A novel index is also proposed which incorporates level of DG penetration and percentage reduction in real power losses. The results are promising when compared with recently proposed algorithms.

Abstract

A novel approach is proposed in this paper to achieve the objective of real power loss minimization and voltage profile enhancement. Network reconfiguration and allocation of various DG units are used to meet the objective. Selective particle swarm Optimization (SPSO) and novel analytical techniques are used to solve the problem of network reconfiguration and allocation of DG units simultaneously.  A new constant, Power Voltage Sensitivity Constant (PVSC), has been proposed to solve the allocation problem. The formulated mathematical expression (PVSC) determines site and size of DG units.  The level of DG penetration is considered in a range of 0–50% of total system load. A novel index is also proposed which incorporates level of DG penetration and % reduction in real power losses. Standard 69 bus system is used to validate the results obtained by proposed hybrid approaches. To show the efficacy and strength of the proposed hybrid approach, it has been compared with various techniques
