Renewable generation has been addressed in several aspects but it still represents a new paradigm for the expansion of electricity supply. This paper aims to propose model sizing and siting problem distributed (DG), based on renewable sources considering three main aspects: technical, from distribution utility viewpoint; economical, DG owner’s viewpoint, environmental, sustainability perspectiv...

Abstract A system of power generation whereby the generating equipment is located close to point usage, thereby reducing losses and operation cost called distributed (DG). However, it imperative that DGs are sited such quality delivered optimized total real loss within minimized. This paper proposes an approach for optimum sizing siting in a distribution using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algo...

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 proposes a multi-objective index-based approach to optimally determine the size and location of multi-distributed generators (DG) units in distribution system with different load models. It is shown that load models can significantly affect the optimal location and sizing of DG resources in distribution systems. The proposed multi-objective function to be optimized includes a short c...

This paper presents a hybrid algorithm by applying firefly and particle swarm optimization (HFPSO) to determine the optimal sizing of distributed generation (DG) distribution static compensator (D-STATCOM) device. A multi-objective function is employed enhance voltage stability, profile, minimize total power loss radial system (RDS). Firstly, stability index (VSI) applied locate location DG D-S...
