ABSTRACT

The ideal places and size of the distribution generators were determined by reducing the loss of power in the distribution networks. The ideal positioning of various kinds of DGs has been suggested in the current job. In this job, the ideal power factor for DG supply has been acquired, both the active power as well as the reactive power. In the proposed approach, different types of distribution generation (DG) supply both reactive and real power. For the optimal placement of DG sources, particle swarm optimization techniques have been used in this job. Each of these innovations has its own strengths and drawbacks. Most of the methods that have been proposed so far to formulate DG’s optimum placement problem only consider Type-I DGs, Type-II and Type-III DGs that are considered for optimal position in the existing research. In the reference, artificial bee colony algorithm was used to determine sites of DGs and condenser combinations and optimal size. The author used PSO method in the reference to determine the appropriate positioning of the DG’s and to maximize the savings of power loss and voltage profile in the distribution network.
