Optimal PV Distributed Generators Allocation using Metaheuristic Algorithm to Enhance Voltage Profile

Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose a methodology to identify the key locations to install integration of Solar & windbased distributed generators((DG) and the optimal amount of CapacityDGs required to maintain a steady voltage profile and voltage stability. The optimal amount of DG required is obtained via Gorilla troops optimizer(GTO)Metaheuristic algorithm and ,the locations where Integration of DG installation results in maximum benefit are obtained through the voltage stability index. The methodology tested in the Indian28 bus system shows that the proposed technique effectively identifies the critical locations and optimizes the required Integration DG capacity.
