Integration of Distributed Generation and Electric vehicles in a distribution network using Political Optimizer

In this article, a novel approach for allocating Distributed generators (DGs) and Electric vehicles (EVs) optimally in the Distribution System (DS) is proposed. The main objectives of this work are to decrease Power Loss (P
^Loss
) and improve the voltage profile. The analysis is performed on an IEEE 69 bus test system with 24hr load demand. This technique utilized a combination of Loss Sensitivity Factor (LSF) and Political Optimizer (PO) to calculate DGs and EVs suitable locations and sizes for 24hrs. Further, a new method to schedule the EVs in a DS is proposed to minimize the P
^Loss
.
