Reduce Costs and Voltage Droops in Distribution System by Locating DG and Static Synchronous Compensator Using GA

With the development of industry and the demand for electricity, energy supply is economically important with respect to environmental issues. The use of small, distributed products has spread near the subscribers' locations. Determining the location and capacity of products at the distribution network level has a great impact on managing financial resources and improving network parameters. In this paper, the optimal model for determining the location and capacity of distributed generation and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is presented, which is economically and technically multi-objective. In the economic part, the reduction of the installation cost of distributed products and STATCOM has been considered, and in the technical part, the reduction of losses and the reduction of the voltage droop of the network bus have been considered. This problem is solved using a genetic algorithm. The simulation results are determined using MATLAB software. The results show the effect of location on voltage reduction
