Minimizing Cost of System Losses and Sizing of Distributed Generation using Genetic Algorithm

Non-availability of enough electrical energy generation resources and an emission of pollutants from conventional energy resources like thermal plant, therefore renewable energy resources has to be utilized to a greater extent. In this paper, optimal location and sizing of distributed generators which concerns with renewable energy sources are finding out in distribution network using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The effectiveness of the proposed approach is tested on 12-bus radial distribution network. Results gives the reduction in system losses as well as cost of losses.
