Abstract

Given the importance of renewable energy sources in distribution systems, this article addresses the problem of locating and determining the capacity of these sources, namely, wind turbines and solar panels. To solve this optimization problem, a new algorithm based on the behavior of salp is used. The objective functions include reducing losses, improving voltage profiles, and reducing the costs of renewable energy sources. In this method, the allocation of renewable resources is considered for different load models in distribution systems and different load levels using smart meters. Due to the fact that these objective functions are multi-objective, the fuzzy decision-making method is used to select the optimal solution from the set of Pareto solutions. The considered objective functions lead to loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, and RES cost reduction (A allocating RES resources optimally without resource limitations; B: allocating RES resources optimally with resource limitations). In addition, daily wind, solar radiation, and temperature data are taken into account. The proposed method is applied to the IEEE standard 33-bus system. The simulation results show the better performance of the multi-objective salp swarm algorithm (MSSA) at improving voltage profiles and reducing losses in distribution systems. Lastly, the optimal results of the MSSA algorithm are compared with the PSO and GA algorithms.
