The work presented in this paper is carried out with the objective of identifying the optimal location and size (Kvar ratings) of shunt capacitors to be placed in radial distribution system, to have overall economy considering the saving due to energy loss minimization. To achieve this objective, a two stage methodology is adopted in this paper. In the first stage, the base case load flow of uncompensated distribution system is carried out. On the basis of base case load flow solution, Nominal voltage magnitudes and Loss Sensitivity Factors are calculated and the weak buses are selected for capacitor placement.In the second stage, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to identify the size of the capacitors to be placed at the selected buses for minimizing the power loss. The developed algorithm is tested for 10-bus, 34-bus and 85-bus Radial Distribution Systems. The results show that there has been an enhancement in voltage profile and reduction in power loss thus resulting in much annual saving.

This paper intends to enumerate the impact of distributed generation (DG) on distribution system in terms of active as well as reactive power loss reduction and improved voltage stability. The novelty of the method proposed in this paper is the simple and effective way of sizing and siting of DG in a distribution system by using two-port Z-bus parameters. The validity of the method is verified by comparing the results with already published methods. Comparative study presented has shown that the proposed method leads existing methods in terms of its simplicity, undemanding calculation procedures, and less computational efforts and so does the time. The method is implemented on IEEE 69-bus test radial distribution system and results show significant reduction in distribution power losses with improved voltage profile of the system. Simulation is carried out in MATLAB environment for execution of the proposed algorithm.

Voltage Profile Improvement

Distributed generators (DG) are much beneficial in reducing the losses effectively compared to other methods of loss reduction. It is expected to become more important in future generation. This paper deals with the multi DGs placement in radial distribution system to reduce the system power loss and improve the voltage profile by using the optimization technique of particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO provides a population-based search procedure in which individuals called particles change their positions with time. Initially, the algorithm randomly generates the particle positions representing the size and location of DG. The proposed PSO algorithm is used to determine optimal sizes and locations of multi-DGs. The objective function is the combination of real, reactive power loss and voltage profile with consideration of weights and impact indices with and without DG. Test results indicate that PSO method can obtain better results on loss reduction and voltage profile improvement than the simple heuristic search method on the IEEE33-bus and IEEE 90-bus radial distribution systems.

Distributed generation system penetration in the existing distribution system is done for minimizing the losses and improving the voltage profile. There are total five types of distributed generation systems exist based on their power delivery like distributed generation system injecting real and reactive power, supplying real power only, supplying reactive power only, absorbing reactive power only , supplying real power and absorbing reactive power. All these five types of distributed generation systems have different penetration effects on the radial distribution system. We get different voltage profiles and power losses for different types of distributed generation systems. The testing of these five types of distributed generation systems will be done on IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system. For computing, the line parameters and power losses of the above testing system the forward-backward sweep load flow method will be applied

Competitive Algorithm

This paper proposes an Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) for optimal multiple distributed generations (DGs) placement and sizing in a distribution system. The objective is to minimize the total real power losses and improve the voltage profile within real and reactive power generation and voltage limits. Three types of DG are considered and the ICA is used to find the better sizes and locations of DGs for maximum real power losses reduction and voltage improvement for given number of DG units in each type. Both integer and continuous variables are considered in ICA, integer variable for locations and continues variable for sizes. The total real power losses and voltage profile evaluation are based on a power flow method for radial distribution system with the representation of DGs. The proposed method has been demonstrated on 33 bus radial distribution system. The efficiency of the ICA in reducing the total power losses and improving voltage is validated by comparing the obtained results with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm.

A huge review on greatest allocation of Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) strategies in Radial Distribution system (RDS) device for compensation of reactive power (Q), mitigation of electricity losses and enhancement in voltage profile is presented. DSTATCOM compensates bus voltage to restriction the strength factor, in addition with energetic and additionally reactive power flows in the RDS. It can additionally provide immediate and non-stop capacitive (C) and inductive (L) mode compensation. This system also injects quantity of lead or lagging compensating current, when it is connected with a same load or varying load. Various IEEE buses are used for checking the achievability of the optimization methods in distribution system.
