Abstract:
The Distribution system face the problem of Power Loss and Voltage drop. The
Power Losses and Voltage Drop can be minimized by optimal allocation of Distributed
Generators (DGs) in the distribution network. Therefore, this thesis analyzes the
deployment of DGs in distribution systems with an objective to simultaneously reduce
Active Power Loss, Reactive Power Loss and Voltage Drop. A post deployment economic
assessment is done to determine the profitability of positioning DGs in the distribution
network. Battle Royale Optimization (BRO) algorithm is proposed in this thesis to find
optimal location of DGs. The results of the proposed BRO algorithm are compared with
Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). Newton Raphson load flow
analysis with the suggested BRO algorithm is conducted on IEEE 33 and 69 bus radial
distribution system. Fifteen test cases consisting of different stages have been formed and
investigated. Single, Multiple and Hybrid combination of DGs is considered in different
stages. The results prove that hybrid combination of DGs substantially reduce the Power
Losses and Voltage drops.
