Enhancing Voltage, Reliability, and Demand Balance via Combined Model of Distributed Generation Allocation and Distribution System Reconfiguration

The present study attempts to deal with two problems: optimal allocation of distribution generations (DGs) and reconfiguration a system satisfy several multiobjectives including smoothing the voltage profile, minimizing cost reliability, balancing amount load on end-user side. These problems are merged into one single optimization problem aforementioned objective functions. type is mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) subject various limitations imposed by, for example, operating status DGs, demand equilibrium, bus voltages, power passing lines. Moreover, paper adopts particle swarm find solution MINLP under study. test was implemented in MATLAB environment validate capability suggested approach.
