Optimal Sizing and Placement of a SVC and DG in Power Systems using PSO Algorithm
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 5
Abstract
Recent advancements in the field of renewable resources technology, accompanied by an increase in load demand and clean and inexpensive energy requirement, have increased tendency towards the use of Distributed Generation (DG). Today, DG is mainly used in low-voltage and household networks. In case of correct placement, this equipment can increase reliability, reduce losses, improve voltage profile, and delay line development investments. One of the weaknesses of low-voltage networks is their voltage domain which can be improved by distributed generators through injecting reactive power. Therefore it seems like that active and reactive power compensation of the network must be done separately. In addition, Static Var compensator (SVC) causes the reactive power to be compensated, with the purpose of improving Voltage domain of the system. Meanwhile, in this paper the placement of DG and SVC leads to the release of generator's capacity to generate active power and to reduce losses remarkably in the upstream network. Moreover, the SVC which is added to the network makes improvement in voltage and supports network reactive power. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm is used for Optimal Placement and Sizing of DG and SVC.
