Due to dynamic nature of loads, total system load is more than its generation capacity that makes relieving of load on the feeders not possible and hence voltage profile of the system will not be improved to the required level. In order to meet required level of load demand, Reconfiguration and DG units are integrated in distribution network to improve voltage profile, to provide reliable and u...

This paper shows the results obtained in the analysis of the impact of Distributed Generation (DG) on distribution losses and presents a new algorithm to the optimal allocation of distributed generation resources in distribution networks. The optimization is based on a Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) aiming to optimal DG allocation in distribution network. Shuffled frogleaping algorithm ...

Nowadays, in the Evolving Power System, reliability testing plays an important role design and implementation of distribution systems that operate a cost-effective manner with minimal customer load disruption. The distributed generation (DG) will play major emerging as they use variety resources technologies to harness energy by reducing losses while maintaining Voltage profile system within li...

A new method to solve the single and multi-objective distribution expansion planning problems including DG is investigated in this paper. The sizing and placement of DG as well as the required power of the main grid would be optimized using proposed method to meet the demand. Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem for three objective functi...

In recent days in distribution system the more importance is giving to Loss minimization techniques since electricity demand continuously increasing and utility companies are struggling meet this rapid increase load due constraints on energy resource generation. Furthermore, voltage instability phenomena also playing important role systems caused a major blackout network. To solve above problem...

With the evolution of electricity market transformation, there is a renewed interest in distributed generation (DG)—that has a promising role for mitigating technical, regulatory, and environmental constraints in the electricity sector. These benefi ts are further enhanced with the ability of such DG in heat recovery applications in which the waste heat is used to produce hot water, heat buildi...

Nowadays, the penetration of distributed generation (DG) in power networks takes special place worldwide and is increasing in developed countries. In order to improve voltage profile, stability, reduction of power losses etc, it is necessary that, this increasing of installation of DGs in distribution system should be done systematically. This paper introduces an optimal placement method in ord...

This paper presents the implementation of multiple distributed generations planning in distribution system using computational intelligence technique. A pre-developed computational intelligence optimization technique named as Embedded Meta EP-Firefly Algorithm (EMEFA) was utilized to determine distribution loss and penetration level for the purpose of distributed generation (DG) installation.

In the context of climate change and energy crisis around the world, an increasing amount of attention has been paid to developing clean energy and improving energy efficiency. The penetration of distributed generation (DG) is increasing rapidly on the user’s side of an increasingly intelligent power system. This paper proposes an optimization method for industrial task-continuous load manageme...

Few years ago Power Systems consisted mainly of large generation plants supplying distant loads through the utility grids. The last years, though, a number of factors lead this structure to change gradually. Small generators of some MW have been already dispersed (DGs) throughout the transmission grid. The distribution of smaller generation units throughout the distribution system as near as po...
