CAPACITOR PLACEMENT AND LOAD SHEDDING METHODOLOGY FOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS USING DOLPHIN ALGORITHM
WhatsApp or infoWhatsApp or info Optimal reconfiguration and capacitor placement are used to reduce power losses and keep the voltage within its allowable interval in power distribution systems considering voltage, current, and radial condition constraints. Effective utilization of power distribution networks requires extensive studies in such areas as using capacitors, voltage regulators, network reconfiguration, and so on. Indeed, achieving accurate answers, and managing appropriate solutions for network problems requires detailed modeling of the network in the process of the above studies. Among the elements that are important for modeling in-network, research is network loads. Loads are generally being modeled such as constant power. While load nature is often widespread and different. Failure to have detailed modeling can lead to non-optimal and even wrong answers and will result in the waste of costs and investments. Since the load flow is the basis of any research in distribution networks, in this design, an effective method is presented for estimating the optimal amount of load to be shed in a distribution system based on the Dolphin algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed Dolphin algorithm has been tested on two different distribution network systems i.e 16 and 33-bus IEEE test systems using the Newton Raphson and Forward/Backward method, to find the optimum configuration of the network with regard to power losses. Five different cases are considered as mentioned below, and the effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated with Normal load, Constant Impedance load, Constant Current load, and ZIP load models, through MATLAB software simulation as shown in the video demo.
