A novel covid-19 herd immunity-based optimizer for optimal accommodation of solar PV with battery energy storage systems including variation in load and generation

The world has now looked towards installing more renewable energy sources type distributed generation (DG), such as solar photovoltaic DG (SPVDG), because of its advantages to the environment and quality power supply it produces. However, these sources' optimal placement size are determined before their accommodation in distribution system (PDS). This is avoid an increase loss deviations voltage profile. Furthermore, this article, PV integrated with battery storage systems (BESS) compensate for shortcomings SPVDG well reduction peak demand. paper presented a novel coronavirus herd immunity optimizer algorithm BESS PDS. proposed centered on approach combat COVID-19 virus. problem formulation focused reduce enhance profile Moreover, limits, maximum current charge-discharge constraints validated during optimization. hourly variation load seasonal impact examined study. IEEE 33 69 bus PDSs tested development work. suggested showed effectiveness accuracy compared different optimization techniques.
