Abstract EN
This work aims to improve the voltage profile and reduce electrical network losses through optimal planning of distributed generators.
A new search algorithm (Autoadd) along with the (PSO) are introduced to choose the best location and size for distributed generators.
Two systems are implemented; a 33-bus test network and a 30-bus of a local community in the city of Al- Diwaniyah.
At the power flow, a solution is implemented using a fixed-point iteration method within an Open DSS environment to check the performance of both networks.
Moreover, the optimal location and size of the distributed generators are determined using Auto add and PSO methods.
The Auto add method is implemented within the Open DSS environment, while the (PSO) method is implemented within the MATLAB-Open DSS environment through the com-interface.
The validity and effectiveness of the proposed methods are validated by comparison with the published researches.
The results have proven that the fixed-point method has achieved high efficiency and accuracy in terms of analyzing the power flow, whereas the (Auto add) algorithm has achieved a better effect in terms of improving the voltage profile and minimizing losses.
