Distributed Generation Placement in Distribution Network using Selective Particle Swarm Optimization

Authors(1) :-Gagandeep Kaur

The lack of synchronization of power supply and demand in distribution network leads to poor voltage profile on lines and increase of real power loss. The integration of Distribution Generation (DG) unit in these networks offers consistent supply of electrical power which accordingly recovers system voltage profile and consequently reduces real power losses. Placement of DG units at optimized location with optimal DG rating participate a vital role in distribution network to synchronize power supply and demand. This study demonstrates the identification of optimized DG placement and optimal DG rating through optimization techniques, which were accomplished in MATLAB’13. In minimization of multi-objective function, the technical hitches were resolved using weight factor within the operating limits of network. Three techniques were accomplished on IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 69-bus standard distribution networks. Among these implemented techniques, Selective Particle Swarm Optimization (SPSO) has given the best result thereby minimizing the real power loss up to 48.09% for standard IEEE 33-bus system and 63.02% for IEEE 69-bus system.
