An Optimal Accommodation of Distributed Generation in Power Distribution Systems

Abstract

This work presents a novel Multi Verse Optimisation (MVO) algorithm to solve the optimal accommodation of distributed generation (OADG) problem of power distribution systems (PDS). The proposed algorithm uses the concepts of white-hole, black-hole and worm-hole to realise the algorithm steps. The white-hole is used in the exploration phase. Whereas the black-hole and worm-hole are used in exploitation phase. The objectives to be optimised are: minimisation of real power loss, minimisation of bus voltage deviation, and maximisation of voltage stability index. The proposed approach is validated through IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 69-bus radial power distribution systems and results are compared with genetic algorithm (GA), Particle swarm optimisation (PSO), Hybrid GA-PSO, Teaching learning based optimisation (TLBO), and Quasi-oppositional teaching learning based optimisation (QOTLBO) algorithms and found to be promising.
