Distributed Generation Optimal Placement Study Considering Increased Loads

Abstract

The distribution network is strongly influenced by an increase in the demand for electrical energy, which can cause increased power losses in the system and a decrease in bus voltage in the system. To overcome the problem of increasing power loss in the system and reducing voltage, then one alternative that can be done is the use of Distributed Generation (DG) in the distribution system. To get the best power loss reductionpossible, the determination of the location and capacity of DG must be carried out optimally by using an optimization method. In this study, the optimization method used is the Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) method. This research was tested on a 33 bus radial distribution system with IEEE standards by paying attention to the increase in load on the system
