Integration of solar and wind based dgs with dstatcom in distribution systems using modified bat algorithm

Abstract

Nowadays, renewable energy sources based distributed generations (REDGs) interconnection with distribution system is gaining more attention by the power system engineers since it meets increasing load demand and cancel out environmental threats. Suitable incorporation of REDGs in radial distribution system (RDS) is vital in ensuring qualitative network operational profits. In this present approach a modified bat algorithm (MBA) based optimization method is employed to allocate solar and wind DGs along with DSTATCOM in RDS. The proposed new multi objective function to mitigate power loss, bus voltage development stability betterment and Total Operating Cost (TOC) minimization. Proper modelling of solar irradiance and wind speed have been done in the RDS. The present approach is tested to Indian countrified system structure and standard IEEE 69-bus system, and received satisfactory outputs.
