Abstract

Integration of Distributed Generation (DG) in the Distribution network will reduce the network expansion costs and increase the network reliability in terms of reduction in voltage magnitude deviations.This paper presents Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) based technique for finding out the best size and position of DG in Radial Distribution networks to improve the voltage profile and voltage security state of the Distribution network. The primary objectives of the paper are minimization of bus voltage variation and maximization of voltage stability index of the network as a multi objective optimization problem in presence of uncertainty of sources and loads. In this paper the uncertainty of solar power, wind power and load are modelled using 2m Point Estimate Method along with SOS algorithm.To show the effect of DG placement on voltage security state of Distribution system, the system is classified into three states based on the values of voltage stability index (VSI). Simulation results as obtained from two standard (IEEE) radial distribution networks prove the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed SOS method. The results of SOS based method are compared with some other techniques as found in recent literature, which shows that SOS algorithm outperforms other standard optimization techniques.
