Optimization of distributed generation units in reactive power compensated reconfigured distribution network

Capacitor Allocation (CA) and Network Reconfiguration (NR) are the traditional methods extensively applied by researchers for power loss reduction node voltage improvement in radial Distribution (DN) past four decades. In recent years, simultaneous optimization of CA NR is considered to maximize a proficient manner comparison individual NR. To solve objective functions, this work proposes an application Autonomous Group Particle Swarm Optimization (AGPSO) optimal allocation sizing capacitors with without NR, under different cases, subject satisfying operating constraints. addition, ascertain impact real injection on further reduction, considers placement Distributed Generation (DG) units from single three nodes capacitive compensated DN. This proposed methodology demonstrated using standard IEEE 33 69 bus test system results obtained each case have been compared other techniques. A significant amount gets minimized after DG reactive
