abstract

restructuring the recent developments in the power system and problems arising from construction as well as the maintenance of large power plants lead to increase in using the distributed generation (dg) resources. dg units due to its specifications, technology and location network connectivity can improve system and load point reliability indices. in this paper, the allocation and sizing of distributed generators in distribution electricity networks are determined through using an optimization method. the objective function of the proposed method is based on improving the reliability indices, such as a system average interruption duration index (saidi), and average energy not supplied (aens) per customer index at the lowest cost. the optimization is based on the modified shuffled frog leaping algorithm (msfla) aiming at determining the optimal dg allocation and sizing in the distribution network. the msfla is a new mimetic meta-heuristic algorithm with efficient mathematical function and global search capability. to evaluate the proposed algorithm, the 34-bus ieee test system is used. in addition, the finding of comparative studies indicates the better capability of the proposed method compared with the genetic algorithm in finding the optimal sizing and location of dg’s with respect to the used objective function.

Modified Shuffled Frog-leaping Algorithm with Dimension by Dimension Improvement

Shuffled leap frog algorithm (SFLA) is a new nature-inspired intelligent algorithm, which uses the whole update and evaluation strategy on solutions. For solving multi-dimension function optimization problems, this strategy will deteriorate the convergence speed and the quality of solution of algorithm due to interference phenomena among dimensions. To overcome this shortage, a dimension by dim...

Optimal Location of Facts Devices for Solving Multi Objective Opf Using Improved Shuffled Leaping Frog Algorithm

5.1 INTRODUCTION Nowadays wind farms contributing to the energy production is continuously growing because of their economical and environmental protection attraction. However, large wind farms have higher reactive power demand that may not be easily satisfied. Therefore, connecting the wind farms to the power network becomes a more challenging task and their impacts are likely to be more wides...

A Customer Oriented Approach for Distribution System Reliability Improvement using Optimal Distributed Generation and Switch Placement

The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...
