Voltage Profile Enhancement and Loss Minimization Using Optimal Placement and Sizing of Distributed Generation in Reconfigured Network

Power loss and voltage instability are major problems in distribution systems. However, these typically mitigated by efficient network reconfiguration, including the integration of distributed generation (DG) units network. In this regard, optimal placement sizing DGs crucial. Otherwise, performance will be degraded. This study is conducted to optimally locate into a radial before after reconfiguration. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm utilized determine reconfiguration An configuration with DG coordination an active overcomes power losses, uplifts profiles, improves system stability, reliability, efficiency. For considering actual scenarios, penalty factor also considered, plays crucial role minimization total profile enhancement. The simulation results showed significant improvement percentage reduction (32% 68.05% respectively) inclusion test system. Similarly, minimum bus improved 4.9% 6.53% respectively. comparative performed, effectiveness proposed method reducing deviation evaluated on IEEE-33 system, using MATLAB software.
