Optimal Sizing Of Distributed Generation For Voltage Profile Improvement Considering Maximum Loadability Limit

Nowadays power demand is the major problem in the electricity market. Distributed Generation (DG) is becoming more important in the power system because of its high efficiency. This paper is concerned with the Differential Evolution Algorithm for the optimal sizing of Distributed Generation. The objective is minimization of DG cost and maximization of the loadability value. The improvement of voltage profile is also considered. IEEE-14 bus system and 34 bus Radial Distribution System are considered to test the effectiveness of the DE for optimal sizing of DG with maximizing the loadability and minimizing the DG cost.
