Distributed Generation (DG) can be used to improve power quality, power supply reliability and reduce network loss et. Meanwhile Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) is easy to fall into the local minimum. In this paper we propose a Cloud Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (CAPSO) to optimize the site and size of DG based on cloud model which has a tendency and randomness property. Judged by two dynamic value assessment, particle belongs to which group, excellent, general and poor. The inertia weight in general group is adaptively varied depending on X-conditional cloud generation. Taking the minimum network loss as the objective function, simulation on the IEEE 33BUS distribution systems to validate the methodology. Analysis and simulations indicate that it has good convergence speed and exactness.

AbstractRecently, the voltage stability and control of distribution networks become challenges due to the large line impedance, load variations and particularly the presence of distributed generation. This paper presents a coordinated voltage control scheme of distribution systems with distributed generation based on on-load tap changer and shunt capacitors. The problem is to determine the optimal operation of voltage regulation devices to minimize a multi-objective function including power losses, voltage deviations and operation stresses while subject to the allowable voltage ranges, line capacity and switching stresses, etc. The problem is formulated and solved by a modified particle swarm optimization algorithm to treat the large-scale and high nonlinearity property. The proposed scheme is applied to a typical 48-bus distribution network in Vietnam. The result of simulation shows that the voltage profile can be improved while the power loss of distribution systems can be reduced significantly.
