Multi-objective Pareto based Optimal Placement and Sizing of Solar PV and Wind Generation System

Appropriate placement and sizing of distributed generation is required for reducing power loss and improvement in voltage profile of power system. Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy are two prominent sources of distributed generation. In this paper, the authors propose a novel method to analyze the optimal placement and sizing of the solar PV and wind generation system in a radial distribution system..A multi objective function is selected for optimal siting and sizing. A 33-bus distribution system has been considered for testing the developed algorithm. Optimal location is obtained by placing DG source at each bus and satisfying objective function. Jaya algorithm is implemented for optimal sizing of PV and wind system. Also the system has been analyzed by placing the solar PV and Wind generation system independently and then simultaneously.
