Abstract
The integration of distributed generation (DG) units in power distribution network has become progressively imperative in recent years. The main goal of this paper is to decide the optimal number, size and location of DG units to reduce annual grid energy transaction. An optimal DG placement (ODGP) denotes obtaining the best possible location of the DG along with its size on the transmission line without causing any disturbance to the system. Optimal integration of DG in distribution grid is one of the important and effective options. Optimal allocation with a suitable sizing of DG units plays an efficient role in terms of improving voltage profile and power quality, reduce flows and system losses. The implemented technique is based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) for optimal allocation of DG unit in power systems. The proposed algorithm has been tested on IEEE 33 bus standard radial distribution system (DS) in MATLAB programming environment.
