A novel two-stage evolutionary optimization method for multiyear expansion planning of distribution systems in presence of distributed generation

Display OmittedFlowchart of the two-stage solution method proposed for solving MEPDS problem. A new multiyear planning model for distribution system expansion is presented.A binary modified imperialist competitive algorithm (BMICA) is proposed.An improved shark smell optimization (ISSO) is suggested.By combination of BMICA and ISSO, a novel two-stage solution approach is presented.The efficacy of the proposed BMICA+ISSO is extensively investigated. In this paper, a new approach for multiyear expansion planning of distribution systems (MEPDS) is presented. The proposed MEPDS model optimally specifies the expansion schedule of distribution systems including reinforcement scheme of distribution feeders as well as sizing and location of distributed generations (DGs) during a certain planning horizon. Moreover, it can determine the optimal timing (i.e. year) of each investment/reinforcement. The objective function of the proposed MEPDS model minimizes the total investment, operation and emission costs while satisfying various technical and operational constraints. In order to solve the presented MEPDS model as a complicated multi-dimensional optimization problem, a new two-stage solution approach composed of binary modified imperialist competitive algorithm (BMICA) and Improved Shark Smell Optimization (ISSO), i.e. BMICA+ISSO, is presented. The performance of the suggested MEPDS model and also two-stage solution approach of BMICA+ISSO is verified by applying them on two distribution systems including a classic 34-bus and a real-world 94-bus distribution system as well as a well-known benchmark function. Additionally, the achieved results of BMICA+ISSO are compared with the obtained results of other two-stage solution methods.
