Lemurs Algorithm for Optimal Location and Sizing of Distributed Generation in Electrical Distribution Network

Demand for electricity has been steadily increasing recently. Because of this, it is important to not only use all the new energy sources that are available to make electricity, but also to lower power loss in the distribution system to an acceptable limit. This paper aims to lessen the real power loss in the distribution network. Distributed generation (DG) units can help meet energy needs and improve efficiency of the electrical supply system. To reduce power loss, it is important to figure out placement and size DG units that use green energy sources. This paper shows the Lemurs Optimizer algorithm to evaluate size and placement of DG units. The real power loss is reduced by 90.9%, 34.5% and 65.9% for type-III, type-II and type-I DG, respectively. The results show that DG penetration helps reach the suggested goal. The findings show that the LO is more effective and reliable for improving the performance of the distribution network. The method is tested on IEEE 33 bus radial distribution test system.
