Optimal scheduling strategy of active distribution system using improved harmony search algorithm

The optimization schedule strategy of the active distribution system (ADS) is the core technology required to actively manage distributed energy resources (DERs). This paper establishes an optimal scheduling model for the ADS, whose blurring purposes are voltage quality improvement and operation cost reduction under control variables of different kinds of distributed generators (DGs). In addition, the improved harmony search (IHS) algorithm is proposed to produce the optimal scheduling strategy of the ADS. The case study in different parameters and different algorithms demonstrates the validity of the proposed optimal scheduling model and the IHS algorithm for ADS.
