Multiple Installation of DG and DSTATCOM in Radial Distribution Network Using Lightning Search Algorithm

In this developed modern dynamic world the atmospheric pollution focus is now changing the power generation from conventional method into Non-conventional method. Distributed generations have been consecutively assimilated with distribution systems. Optimal size and site of Distributed generation (DG) and Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) have significant impacts on the system real power loss and also in addition improvement of voltage magnitude in distribution system. In this study, lightning search algorithm (LSA) is used to find out the optimum placement of DG and DSTATCOM in distribution system. Reduction of real power losses in the distribution system is taken as the main objective function. The proposed technique is examined by using IEEE-33 bus standard test system. The overall optimized results show the performance of the proposed technique.
