Optimum Placement and Sizing Determination of Distributed Generation and DSTATCOM Using Penguins Search Optimisation Algorithm

Abstract

A Penguin Search Optimization algorithm for finding the optimal location and sizing of Distributed Generation and Distribution STATic COMpensator (DSTATCOM) with the aim of reducing the total power loss along with voltage profile improvement of Radial Distribution System is proposed in this paper. The new-fangled formulation projected is inspired by the idea that the optimum placement of the DG and DSTATCOM can facilitate in minimization of the line loss and voltage dips in Radial Distribution Systems. A complete performance analysis is carried out on 14, 30 and 57 bus radial distribution test systems and each test system has three different cases.
