Optimal Siting and Sizing of Distributed Generators by Strawberry Plant Propagation Algorithm

Increasing the unplanned penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) has spurred active and reactive power losses in distribution system. This article suggests using a novel Strawberry Plant Propagation Algorithm (SPPA) for planning placement DGs with aim reducing network (active) improving overall voltage profile. The proposed method been tested on 33 69 node radial systems MATLAB. A cost analysis was also performed compared other contemporary methods. results considered variables show significance comparison to various counterparts, including Mine Blast Particle Swarm Optimization.
