Abstract:In the emerging power systems Distributed Generators (DGs) are expected to play a vital role as it has a great impact on the operation and planning of distribution network. Installing the DG at optimum location enhances the system performance and improves the reliability. In this paper a method is proposed for finding the optimal location of DGs with their optimum numbers and a goal to maximize reliability of system, reduce the total power loss while improving the voltage profile of the system for different load conditions using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Neural Network (NN) to fix DGs and evaluate the amount of power to be generated.
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.
