Optimal Multi-Indices Application of Distributed Generations in Radial Distribuion Networks Based on Moth-Flame Optimizer

Abstract

In this paper, a new approach based on the Moth-Flame Optimizer is done to design and operate distribution networks using DGs by determining the optimal choice of location and size of power generated by DG with the aim of losses reduction and improvement of distribution network voltage stability. In this study, the optimal decision variables is including the optimal location and size of DG on the distribution network which is determined by the Moth-Flame Optimizer. The proposed problem has been implemented on IEEE standard 33 and 69 bus distribution networks. In this study, In order to verify the proposed Moth-Flame Optimizer method, the problem is also solved by PSO and the results were compared and analyzed. Optimization results show that the proposed MFO method is the high-power quick way to find the optimal points is compared to PSO Has shown better performance in problem solving. The obtained results have confirmed the capability of the proposed method.
