Additionally, distributed generations are used for self-consumption with excess energy injected into centralized grids (CGs). However, the improper sizing of renewable energy systems (RESs) exposes the entire system to power losses. This work presents an optimization of a system consisting of distributed generations. Firstly, PSO algorithms evaluate the size of the entire system on the IEEE bus 14 test standard. Secondly, the size of the system is allocated using improved Particles Swarm Optimization (IPSO). The convergence speed of the objective function enables a conjecture to be made about the robustness of the proposed system. The power and voltage profile on the IEEE 14-bus standard displays a decrease in power losses and an appropriate response to energy demands (EDs), validating the proposed method.展开更多

In a distribution system, the voltage is stepped down to certain levels and is utilized by consumers. The losses in distribution networks are very high compared with the transmission line losses because of the high value of the line resistance (R) compared with the reactance (X), high current, and low voltage. Distribution companies have an economic incentive to minimize network losses. Generally, the incentive is the difference between the actual losses and standard losses. Therefore, when the actual losses are greater than the standard losses, distribution companies are fined. If the actual losses are less than the standard losses, distribution companies earn profits. Consequently, the issue of power losses in distribution networks has attracted the attention of researchers. Numerous methods and techniques have been examined and implemented to reduce distribution system losses. These methods differ based on the selection of the loss reduction mechanism, formulation of the problem, technique utilized, and solution obtained. Many techniques are used to minimize losses, such as power factor correction, reconfiguration, distributed generation allocation, load balancing, voltage upgrades, and conductor upgrades. In this study, a literature review, general background on distribution loss minimization, and a comprehensive comparison of the main techniques are presented to examine the best methods for minimizing power losses.展开更多

GRADE Algorithm is a hybrid technique combining genetic and differential evolution algorithms. Control variables considered are Generator bus voltages, MVAR at capacitor banks, transformer tap settings and reactive power generation at generator buses. The optimal values of the control variables are obtained by solving the multi objective optimization problem using GRADE Algorithm programmed using M coding in MATLAB platform. With the optimal setting for the control variables, Newton Raphson based power flow is performed for two test systems, viz, IEEE 30 bus system and IEEE 57 bus system for three loading conditions. Minimization of Real power loss and improvement of voltage profile obtained are compared with the results obtained using firefly and particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques. Improvement of Loadability margin is established through PV curve plotted using continuation power flow with the real power load at the most affected bus as the bifurcation parameter. The simulated output shows improved results when compared to that of firefly and PSO techniques, in term of convergence time, reduction of real power loss, improvement of voltage profile and enhancement of loadability margin.展开更多
