Multiple Distributed Generator Placement in Primary Distribution Networks for Loss Reduction

Аntlion Optimizer for Effective Integration of Distributed Generation in Radial Electrical Distribution Networks

“…(14) represent another catching process. (14) Where ; shows the current iteration, Antlion j ( ); is the position of selected j-antlion at t th iteration, Ant i ( ); indicates the position of i th ant at t th iteration.…”

“…[10]- [12] tested the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to determine the location, type and size of DG for 15-node RDNs and 33-buses, while in [13] the PSO is examined to determine the optimal location and sizing of DG for 10 and 123-node RDNs. Improved Analytical (IA) method to calculate the optimal size of four different DG types and determine the best location for DG for 16, 33, 69, 37 and 118 RDNs is found in [14], [15]. References [16]- [18] used Improved Harmony Search (IHS) Algorithm to minimize total losses for 69-node, 13-buses Chinese city, and 12-node.…”

Coordination of Overcurrent Relay in Distributed System for Different Network Configuration

“…This reduction in current may result in malfunction of overcurrent relays [17]. This undesirable condition may occur when DGs are connected anywhere between the feeding substation and fault location.…”

Particle Swarm Optimization Application for Optimal Location of Multiple Distributed Generators in Power Distribution Network

“…Naik et al [8] have proposed an analytical algorithm for optimal allocation of single as well as multiple DGs for power loss minimization. An improved analytical method has been introduced by Hung and Mithulananthan [9] for multiple DG allocation to minimize active power losses. To show the effectiveness of the improved analytical method, Hung and Mithulananthan [9] compared LSF and ELF methods with the improved analytical method.…”
