This paper proposed a new methodology based on nature-enthused meta-heuristic optimization algorithm named as whale optimization algorithm (WOA), which can significantly envisage problems for simultaneous allocation of distributed generation (DG) and Distribution STATic COMpensator (DSTATCOM) in the radial distribution systems (RDS). In the proposed method, optimal locations and sizing of the DG and DSTATCOM can be determined by loss sensitivity factor and WOA, respectively. The objective function of the proposed method is to minimize the system’s total power losses and total operating cost of DG and DSTATCOM. The proposed method is applied to well-known IEEE 33-bus and large 136-bus RDS. The attained simulation results and comparison of different cases considered leads to allocation of DG and DSTATCOM combination resulting in significant power loss reduction with good voltage profile enhancement.

使用鲸鱼优化算法同时分配 DG 和 DSTATCOM

本文提出了一种基于自然热情的元启发式优化算法的新方法，称为鲸鱼优化算法（WOA），它可以显着地设想分布式发电（DG）和分布式静态补偿器（DSTATCOM）在径向分布中的同时分配问题。系统 (RDS)。在所提出的方法中，DG 和 DSTATCOM 的最佳位置和大小可以分别由损耗敏感因子和 WOA 确定。所提出方法的目标函数是最小化系统的总功率损耗和DG 和DSTATCOM 的总运行成本。所提出的方法应用于众所周知的IEEE 33-bus和大型136-bus RDS。
