In this paper a variable’s involved in assessing the quality of a distributed generation system are reviewed, aiming to minimize the electric power losses (unused power consumption) and optimize the voltage profile. To provide this assessment, several experiments have been made to the IEEE 34-bus test case and various actual test cases with the respect of multiple DG units. The possibility and ...

Due to the increased importance of DFIGs in optimization of real and reactive power losses and the maintenance of voltage profile, the general methods of DG placement and sizing in the existing literature cannot be of practical importance in DFIG .In this paper a pure PSO method used in general DG is compared with a HGAPSO in the siting and sizing of DFIG with the objective of minimizing power ...

Placement of protection devices in a conventional feeder (without distributed generation) is often performed so as to minimize traditional reliability indices (SAIDI, SAIFI, MAIFIe...), assuming the sole source(s) of energy at substation(s). Distributed generation (DG) and storage units located on the feeder may be constrained in terms of power and/or energy capacity, and may include renewable ...

The main importance of a power grid is to transfer electrical energy from the production consumption, while maintaining an acceptable reliability and voltage quality for all customers. role distributions have centralized plants distributing electricity through Distributed Generation (DG) which reduces Power Loss on transmission distribution station also improve profile by optimization. This res...

Capacitor Allocation (CA) and Network Reconfiguration (NR) are the traditional methods extensively applied by researchers for power loss reduction node voltage improvement in radial Distribution (DN) past four decades. In recent years, simultaneous optimization of CA NR is considered to maximize a proficient manner comparison individual NR. To solve objective functions, this work proposes an ap...

this paper presents a new hybrid method for optimal multi-objective reconfiguration in a distribution feeder in addition to determining the optimal size and location of multiple-distributed generation (dg). the purposes of this research are mitigation of losses, improving the voltage profile and equalizing the feeder load balancing in distribution systems. to reduce the search space, the improv...

In this paper, the approach focused on the variables involved in assessing the quality of a distributed generation system are reviewed in detail, for its investigation and research contribution. The aim to minimize the electric power losses (unused power consumption) and optimize the voltage profile for the power system under investigation. To provide this assessment, several experiments have b...

The impending deregulated environment facing the electric utilities in the twenty first century is both a challenge and an opportunity for a variety of technologies and operating scenarios. Changing regulatory and economic scenarios, energy savings and environmental impacts are providing impetus to the development of an Active Distribution Networks (ADN), which is predicated to play an increasi...
