Abstract
- Abstract: Distributed generation (DG) sources are becoming more prominent in distribution systems due to the incremental demands for electrical energy. Locations and capacities of DG sources have profoundly impacted on the system losses in a distribution network. In this paper, a novel combined genetic algorithm (GA)/particle swarm optimization (PSO) is presented for optimal location and sizing of DG on distribution systems. The objective is to minimize network power losses, better voltage regulation and improve the voltage stability within the frame-work of system operation and security constraints in radial distribution systems. A detailed performance analysis is carried out on 33 and 69 bus systems to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
