A Multi-Objective Approach for Voltage Stability Enhancement and Loss Reduction Under PQV and P Buses Through Reconfiguration and Distributed Generation Allocation

Akhilesh Kumar Barnwal et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel approach to enhance voltage stability and minimize power loss in radial distribution networks, while maintaining a good voltage profile. This is achieved through optimally placed distributed generation, network reconfiguration, and voltage control of PQV bus using a variable reactive power source. The multi-objective function considers maximum loadability enhancement and network loss minimization. Grey wolf optimization technique is used to optimize the proposed function in the presence of PQV and P buses. Case studies on IEEE 33-bus radial distribution system demonstrate significant enhancement in voltage stability margin under optimal placement of distributed generations and network reconfiguration.

Algorithmic Formulation for Network Resilience Enhancement by Optimal DER Hosting and Placement

Shamini Dharmasena et al.

Summary: This paper proposes an algorithm for optimal PV hosting and placement of DERs to enhance network resiliency. The algorithm prioritizes CI nodes for DER placement and ensures maximum hosting capacity. Validation on a 34-bus system with different outage scenarios shows multiple optimal DER placement options to achieve maximum DER hosting capacity, improve system resiliency, and minimize active power loss. This algorithm can be directly applied by distribution planners and designers to enhance overall system resiliency.

Optimum coordination of centralized and distributed renewable power generation incorporating battery storage system into the electric distribution network

Mikaeel Ahmadi et al.

Summary: This study proposes a two-stage optimal coordination of localized and centralized generation using multi-objective multi-verse optimization technique to simultaneously minimize investment cost and enhance voltage profile. The optimal locations and sizes of dispersed generation units are determined in the first stage, while the capacity size of pre-located centralized generation units is determined in the second stage with adequate consideration of the results of the first stage.
