Minimize the Customer Outage for Improved Reliability in Distribution System with Photovoltaic Distributed Generation

This paper presents minimize the customer outage for improved reliability in distribution system with photovoltaic distributed generation. The objective functions to be minimize the customer outage cost. The problem is to reliability improvement of distribution system with distributed generations. The technique employed to solve the outage cost by Tabu search algorithm. An application of the Tabu search algorithm to test system for the case study is a radial distribution system with Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS) bus 2. Numerical results from the tests demonstrate that the optimal placement of distributed generators can be used to promote the reliability of the distribution system.
