This paper proposes a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based technique for the optimal allocation of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the power systems. In this paper our aim is to decide optimal number, type, size and location of DG units for voltage profile improvement and power loss reduction in distribution network. Two types of DGs are considered and the distribution load flow is used...

With the implementation of competitive electricity supply system all over the world, there is the need of optimal utilization of the existing generation sources at the same time to curtail the generation from the conventional power plants and add the renewable sources generation looking into the environmental concern and limitation of the fossil fuels. This has lead to the motivation for the st...

This paper proposes a novel approach for optimal allocation of a distributed generator in a radial distribution feeder for loss minimization and tail end node voltage improvement during peak load. A multi objective optimization method is proposed to determine optimal allocation of a distributed generation (DG) unit in a radial distribution feeder. The DG allocation problem has been formulated a...

This paper presents four optimization outcomes for a diesel generator (DG), photovoltaic (PV), and battery hybrid generating radial system, to reduce the network losses achieve optimum generated power with minimum costs. The effectiveness of utilized meta-heuristic algorithms in this (firefly algorithm, particle swarm optimization, genetic surrogate optimization) was compared, considering facto...

1 Department of Electrical Engineering, Shiraz University 2 Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Eyvanekey Corresponding Author: Mohsen Khorasany Abstract—Nowadays limitation of energy sources has increased the demands for using Distributed Generation (DG) in electricity generation. One of the most important issues about DG is allocation size and place of DG in the network to ach...
