In this paper optimum size and location of distributed generators (DGs) are determined for maximizing voltage profile and minimizing line losses in distribution systems. For this purpose, Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) approach is proposed. The significant innovation of this research paper is using new coding in (PSO) which includes both active and reactive powers […]
This paper presents determination of optimum size and location of distributed generators (DGs) for reliability improvement of distribution systems in the presence of time varying loads using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The main innovation of this paper is considering of annual load duration curve for determination of size and location of DGs for reliability improvement. For […]
