Abstract
Recently, the integration of Renewable Energies Sources (RES) into Smart Distribution System (SDS) has become one of the best solutions to ensure balance between production and consumption of electric energy. This is attributed to the numerous advantages of this integration such as minimizing power losses, improving the voltage profile as well as minimization of CO2 emissions. In this paper, a new algorithm known as Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA) is used to solve the problem of integrating Distributed Generators (DGs) into the SDS based on photovoltaic solar sources and wind turbine generators. This is performed while considering the uncertainty of energy delivered by the DG as well as the variation of load demand in 24 h. The proposed SMA algorithm is applied to obtain the optimal location and size of DGs units, where a unit or two are considered. The objective is to optimize Active Power Loss (PLoss), Voltage Stability Index (VSI), Short Circuit Level (SCL), and Annual Losses Cost (ALC). The efficiency of the algorithm is validated using a test case which is IEEE 33-bus SDS.
