Abstract

A novel and simple meta-heuristic optimization technique viz., political optimizer (PO) is proposed in this paper to identify the size and optimal location of solar photovoltaic (SPV) system. The main objective is to minimize the distribution loss and is solved using proposed PO. The computational efficiency of PO is compared with the literature, and its superiority is highlighted in terms of global solution at initial stage. The physical requirements of SPV system via soft open points (SOPs) among multiple laterals are solved considering radiality constraints in second stage. The proposed concept of interoperable-photovoltaic (I-PV) system has been applied on standard IEEE 69-bus system and has shown the effectiveness in performance enhancement of the system.
