Optimal DG allocation by Garra Rufa optimization for power loss reduction
Abstract
The rapid growth of distributed generation (DG) units has necessitated their optimization to address the increasing complexity of power grids and reduce power losses. The need for optimization of distributed generation (DG) units has been growing rapidly over the past few years. To minimize such losses, the optimal allocation of DG units needs to be correctly identified and applied. On the other hand, Garra Rufa optimization (GRO) is a mathematical optimization technique that is used to determine the high effective and efficient way to solve very complex problems to achieve optimal results. In this work, Garra Rufa optimization is used to identify the optimal placement and size of DG units in order to meet specific power loss requirements. A comparison between genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and GRO is done using MATLAB to validate the proposed method. The comparison shows that GRO is better than the other methods in DG allocation, especially in more than two DGs. The optimization techniques are evaluated using the IEEE standard power system case, specifically the 30-bus configuration.
