Placement of Renewable Distributed Generation Using Harmony Search Optimization Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a new approach using Harmony Search (HS) algorithm is presented for placing Distributed Generators (DGs) in radial distribution systems. HS is used for multiple objective planning, to evaluate the DG placement and sizing by considering the power losses and voltage profile as objective functions. HS is operated on 12bus, 15-bus and 33-bus radial distribution system(RDS). Obtained results of 12-bus, 15-bus and further 33-bus in MATLAB are compared with other DG placement techniques such as Improved Analytical (IA), Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming (MINLP). The proposed method is found to be more effective in terms of voltage stability enhancement and power loss minimization.
