Optimal size and location of PV based DG-unit in transmission system using GA method for loss reduction

Abstract

Abstract- This paper proposed the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) for power system in presence of DG-unit, considering the objective of minimal power losses using genetic algorithm method. This method determines the optimal DG-units location and size in a transmission system. The efficiency of the optimization method discussed in this work has been validated on standard test network IEEE 30_busand Algerian114_bus power system using MATLAB softwer.
