Whale optimization algorithm for optimal sizing of renewable resources for loss reduction in distribution systems

Abstract: Distributed generator (DG) resources are small scale electric power generating plants that can provide power to homes, businesses or industrial facilities in distribution systems. Power loss reductions, voltage profile improvement and increasing reliability are some advantages of DG units. The above benefits can be achieved by optimal placement of DGs. Whale optimization algorithm (WOA), a novel metaheuristic algorithm, is used to determine the optimal DG size. WOA is modeled based on the unique hunting behavi… Show more

“…The main reason for using DG units in power system is technical and economic benefits that have been presented as follows. Some of the major advantages are (Reddy et al 2016(Reddy et al , 2017c • Reduced system losses Different types of distributed generations and their definitions have been discussed in Ackermann et al (2001). An analytical approach was proposed by Acharya et al (2006) and Hung et al (2010) with out taking voltage constraint.…”

“…The ALO algorithm consists of five steps: random walk of ants, building ant lion traps, entrapment of ants in the traps, catch the preys, and re‐building the traps . This method captured the interest of many researchers, and it has been successfully used for finding the optimal solution of power system problems …”
