Abstract:
Integrating Distributed Generation (DG) into the supply system leads to substantial
improvements in efficiency, performance, and reliability, resulting in a more
sustainable and environmentally friendly energy infrastructure. Scientists have
suggested many methods for incorporating distributed generation (DG) into
distribution system design. These methods include strategically placing DGs to reduce
energy losses and enhance system performance. The majority of performed research
has highlighted the significance of distributed generation (DG) in influencing the
future of energy distribution. However, if the Distributed Generation (DG) is too small
or in the wrong location, it might unintentionally cause the network to have more
energy losses, which would decrease its efficiency and performance. In this study, we
used Particle Swarm Optimizations (PSO) to optimize the positioning and dimensions
of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the distribution network. The objective was to
minimize the overall power losses and enhance the efficiency of the system. Our
simulation tests were conducted using MATLAB, and we used optimization techniques
to provide a full mapping of the results. This mapping correlates with decreases in
active power loss, offering significant information. By applying the suggested
approach to the IEEE 33 and 69 bus systems, there was a notable decrease in power
loss inside the distribution network. The network's efficiency and reliability were
significantly enhanced by optimizing the placement and size of Distributed Generation
(DG) units.
