Abstract EN
Differential evolution (DE) algorithm is used to determine optimal location of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) considering its size in the radial distribution systems.
The problem is formulated to find the optimum location of UPQC based on an objective function (OF) defined for improving of voltage and current profiles, reducing power loss and minimizing the investment costs considering the OF's weighting factors.
Hence, a steady-state model of UPQC is derived to set in forward/backward sweep load flow.
Studies are performed on two IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus standard distribution networks.
Accuracy was evaluated by reapplying the procedures using both genetic (GA) and immune algorithms (IA).
Comparative results indicate that DE is capable of offering a nearer global optimal in minimizing the OF and reaching all the desired conditions than GA and IA.
