Abstract
- This paper presents a method for determining the optimum number, impedance, and locations of fault current limiter (FCL) to reduce the negative impact of distributed generations presence in the power systems such as increasing the short circuit current levels and improve the system reliability. In the considered method, we have modeled the FCL placement as an optimization problem while the objectives are; bus fault current difference, reliability, the number and impedance of FCLs. Moreover, to solve the proposed problem, a new multi-objective optimization algorithm based on firework algorithm namely multi-objective firework algorithm has been implemented. In the new algorithm, several iterations have been considered, and the non-dominated solutions are extracted and stored in an external repository in the iterations. Finally, a fuzzy clustering technique is used to control the size of the repository during the algorithm evolution. The proposed approach is tested on two different systems, namely, Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS) 2 and RBTS 4 test system. The obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the new method. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
