ABSTRACT
We are aware that adding distributed generation to power system networks will lead to better
voltage profiles, auxiliary services, greater power quality and stability, energy savings, less loss and
feeder congestion, among other benefits. Several scholars have recently focused on the optimization
of the DG placement and sizing problem in radial and mesh distribution grids to reduce distribution
losses and increase overall power delivery efficiency.
In this thesis, an hybrid approach is presented to calculate optimal size of multiple DG units. The
procedure for sizing of multiple DG units along with minimum active power losses is discussed.
The technique can get the optimal size for DGs capable of either injecting only real power, only
reactive power or both active and reactive power. Besides, considered Big Bang-Big Crunch
algorithm shall provide the size and location for the DG unit. The objective is to minimize real
power losses, voltage deviation with simultaneous load analysis using backward-forward sweep
method.
Finally, the distributed generators’ optimum location and size to be placed on IEEE 69-bus radial
distribution network is identified by implementation of the algorithms in MATLAB R2022a
environment. The performance parameters are compared with PSO and ABC algorithms.
