Abstract |
|
|
| Nuclear facilities are more sensitive to any disturbance in electric power, so the power feeding these loads must be more reliable and of a higher quality. The capacity of feeding feeders to nuclear loads must be high to carry all facility loads. The major problems in distribution systems are how to improve the voltage profile and reduce power loss. These problems can be solved by the optimal placement of distributed generation units (DGs) in a reconfigured distribution network. In this study, the optimal location and size of DGs in a distribution network with network reconfiguration will be analyzed to get a distribution system with higher power quality and a reliable network design. In this paper, a mathematical model for the problem and an optimization technique based on the Modified Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (MABC) are proposed to reduce the electric network power losses and improve the network voltage profile. The proposed methodology is applied to IEEE-33, IEEE-69 standard distribution networks to check the accuracy and reliability. The obtained results are confirmed to be compatible with those found using other algorithms, where results and analysis showed the effectiveness and accuracy of the presented algorithm. |
