Abstract
For the low-voltage transformer district with distributed generations (DGs), the traditional theoretical calculation method of line loss is not applicable. This paper presents a novel clustering method for line loss data of transformer district with DGs, which combined an improved Cuckoo Search algorithm and K-Means clustering algorithm. Firstly, the influence factors of line loss are screened based on the maximum information coefficient, and the line loss index system is established. Secondly, an improved cuckoo search clustering algorithm is proposed to cluster the sample data set to reduce the dependence on the initial clustering center. Finally, the simulation results of 410 samples from a certain area with photovoltaic power supply show the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method is accurate and effective.
