Abstract :
In this paper, A novel optimization technique called whale optimization
algorithm (WOA) is modified, used and implemented to find the best
possible solution to the problem of optimal locating and sizing of Distributed
Generation (DG) resources such as photovoltaic cells, fuel cells and kVAR
compensators in radial distribution feeders. The modified technique is used
for the first time to solve this kind of optimization problem which includes
optimal sizing and location of DG units in radial distribution feeder.
The proposed method is applied to two different test distribution feeders
(15 bus and 33 bus test systems) using different DG types and the acquired
results are analyzed and compared to other modern optimization methods to
confirm that they give the best results, lowest system real power losses and
highest voltage profile improvement among the other modern methods
implemented on the same test systems.
