Performance improvement of electrical distribution system using photovoltaic generation based on particle swarm optimization

Distributed generators are used to support the main power stations as well capacities of secondary distribution and diversify energy sources. The right placement distributed helps losses minimization in electrical network enhances voltage profile. This paper presents a proposed performance analysis photovoltaic term optimal location Particle swarm optimization algorithm is for radial systems profile improving. objective function this minimize reduce total network. method tested using dataset an actual feeder AL-akrameen (11kV) feeder, which fed from Almashtal substation (33/11kV) part Babil city/ Iraq. includes practical measurements loads such as; currents, voltages, factors, frequency consumption power. obtained simulation results show validity effectiveness methodology improvement through loss reduction, current supporting systems. model implemented based on MATLAB.
