Several benefits have been obtained through integration of distributed generation in distribution systems. These advantages include reducing power losses, improving voltage profiles, and many more. These advantages can be accomplished and improved by optimizing the size and location of dispersed generations in the system. This paper introduces simultaneous and incremental approach using genetic algorithm for placement of multiple distributed generations to reduce power losses while keeping the network voltage profiles within specified limits. The algorithm is tested on IEEE 33-bus system and an Indian 85-bus system. It is clearly observed that, the proposed approaches provide optimal deployment of multiple distributed generations which reduces power losses and improves voltage profile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
