Optimal Allocation of Distributed Generation to Minimize Loss in Distribution System

Abstract

This paper aims at minimizing the real power loss in radial distribution system by Optimal Allocation and Sizing of Distributed Generation using Artificial Bee Colony Optimization (ABC) technique. The Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is a population-based optimization technique which is based on the intelligent foraging behavior of the honeybee swarm. Distributed generation is an approach that employs small scale technologies to produce electricity close to the end users of power. Here the total real power loss has been reduced by allocating two Distributed Generations in an IEEE 34 Bus Radial Distribution System using ABC technique and the results are obtained through MATLAB coding.
