Abstract

This work proposed a method for the best placement and sizing of the Distributed Generations (DGs) in the distribution systems network with aim to minimize the the total system losses. The total system losses includes the resultant of real power loss and reactive power loss. The main aim of presented work is to minimize the system losses and also to enhance the system's voltage profile. This paper is made from the fact that DGs are more advantageous to achieve the demand of power that are close to the load centers compared to those at the centralized power generation. This work considers 85-bus radial distribution network (RDN) for DG planning based on objective to minimize overall MVA losses of system. The desired objective is carried out with the help of MATPOWER/MATLAB and the comparison of obtained results with DG using cuckoo search algorithm is presented related to the base case results. At last, it can be concluded that cuckoo search is an efficient methodology for optimal size and placement of DGs.
