Transformations are taking place within the distribution systems to cope with the congestions and reliability concerns. This paper presents a new technique to efficiently minimize power losses within the distribution system by optimally sizing and placing distributed generators (DGs) while considering network reconfiguration. The proposed technique is a hybridization of two metaheuristic-based algorithms: Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) and Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO), which solve the network reconfiguration problem by optimally installing different DG types (conventional and renewable-based). Case studies carried out showed the proposed hybrid technique outperformed each algorithm operating individually regarding both voltage profile and reduction in system losses. Case studies are carried to measure and compare the performance of the proposed technique on three different works: IEEE 33-bus, IEEE 69-bus radial distribution system, and an actual 78-bus distribution system located at Cairo, Egypt. The integration of renewable energy with the distribution network, such as photovoltaic (PV) arrays, is recommended since Cairo enjoys an excellent actual record of irradiance according to the PV map of Egypt. |
