Abstract:In a smart distribution grid environment, the applications of Distributed Generation (DG) are widely employed. Using these applications can have both positive and negative impacts on the distribution system. The sizing and location of their installations are the issues that should be taken into consideration to gain the maximum benet. This paper presents a application of the Cuckoo Search (CS) for the optimal sizing and siting of DG in a smart distribution power system in order to minimize real power losses by… Show more
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.
