DG Allocation Using Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm in Radial And Mesh Distribution System

Abstract

Distributed generation (DG) has been added on the distribution side to fulfill the consumer's demand. The losses are approximately 15% of total power generation in the distribution system (DS) to reduce these losses to a minimum value to achieve higher efficiency. If the DG is not placed correctly, then losses increase. So, the optimal placement of DG is necessary. Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA) has been used for the optimal placement of DG. It has been implanted for IEEE 15,33, and 69 bus radial and 33 and 69 bus weakly meshed system with five tie lines is considered for power loss minimization and improve voltage profile using single and multiple DG with 0.8 pf, 0.9 pf lag. Annual Energy Saving due to implementing DG with different power factors has been analyzed. MATLAB 2021a has been used to analyze the test distribution network.
