HAS-Based optimal allocation of DGs considering cable aging constraint

A fact of life in power system is equipment aging though there may be different causes of aging for different kinds of equipment. Aging can be caused by erosion of metal structures such asable sheathing. Higher system risk due to higher failure probability and possible system damage following the end-such asfailure are the direct consequence of cable aging. One of the solutions to solve this problem is reduction of current flowthrough cables with different strategies in the distributionnetwork. In this paper, an HSA-Based optimal number, placement and capacity of DGs considering cable agingconstraint is proposed. The IEEE RTS 24-Bus network is selected to verify the proposed algorithm. THE obtained results expressthe improvement of cable aging in the network under study
