Abstract:

The main aim of the proposed work is to reduce the losses and to improve the voltage profile. The multi-objectivebased meta-heuristic Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Hill Climbing (H.C.) algorithms are developed for optimal planning of multiple D.G.s under different load conditions. The optimal size and location of multiple D.G.s obtained from the proposed algorithm based on a multi-objective index reduces the real and reactive power loss and improves the voltage profile. The optimal solution for D.G. integration varies depending on the type of load. The new algorithm is proposed to address the issues of integration of multiple D.G.s, and the algorithm is validated by applying it to a practical 12-bus system with high voltage losses and poor voltage regulation under different load types.

Keywords:

Distributed Generators (D.G.s), Power quality, Reliability, Voltage profile, Optimal placement, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Hill Climbing (H.C.) algorithms.
