Optimal Placement and Sizing of Distributed Generation Using Multi-Verse Optimization

摘要

In this present situation, power loss minimization in distribution network is one of the challenging area of research. In distribution system losses are more compared to transmission system. High power loss occurs when the connected loads in the distribution network are moved away from distribution substation. Adequate allocation and sizing of distributed generation (DGs) and capacitors are the modern way to minimize the distribution power loss. Improper placement leads to increase in power loss and may affect system performance adversely. Computation intelligence based methods has been used to allocate the DGs in proper location. In this present work a recently developed nature inspired algorithm known as Multi Verse Optimization (MVO) has been implemented for DGs placement problem. The implementation of MVO has been tested on 33 bus radial distribution system. The obtained results have also been compared with the reported results in literature to establish effectiveness of the algorithm.
