Abstract

The improvement of the energy performance that means the reduction of energy loss is one of the important parts that must be developed. The installing of the Distributed Generation (DG) in distribution system can improve the voltage profile and the power loss reduction but the DG must be installed at suitable position or bus in the network system. The objectives of this study are to identify the suitable of DGs position, minimizing the power losses and determine the suitable size of DGs that can be installed to the system. In this work, 2 methods are combined; Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) for DGs positioning and implementation of Evolutionary Programming (EP) as an optimization method for determining of power loss and DGs sizing. The combination of these methods is applied to the IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus standard system. To determine the validity of the results, the combinations of SOM and EP for both systems are compared with the original configuration system, and reconfiguration using EP with random position of DGs in the systems respectively. The SOM and EP programming has been simulated in MATLAB environment. The combination of SOM-EP is suitable to apply in 33kV system which achieves the objectives of the study. However, the combination of SOM-EP is not suitable for 69 kV system because power losses reduction is not globally solve.
