Optimal Sizing and Placement of Renewable DGs using GOA Considering Seasonal Variation of Load and DGs

摘要

A methodology for the optimum allocation and sizing of Distributed Generation (DG) using grasshopper optimization (GOA) technique is presented in this work. In order to enhance the voltage profile, reliability, and economic benefit a multi-objective function has been introduced (MOF). This MOF also reduces the active power losses and greenhouse gas emissions. The said work comprises renewable energy resources based DG techniques like wind and solar DGs. In the system seasonal variations of load, wind DG and solar DG is considered. The said work has been executed on 94-bus Portuguese practical radial distribution system. This work includes different types of loading in 94-bus Portuguese practical radial distribution system. Maximum benefits have observed when both the renewable DG simultaneously allocated. The results obtained of the presented work have been compared with other methods and hence the proposed method gives the better result.
