摘要
This paper addresses a multi-objective formulation for simultaneous allocation of DERs in RDNs to maximize annual savings. An improved particle swarm optimization is proposed to overcome inherent tendency of local trappings in PSO. A node sensitivity-based guided search algorithm (GSA) is suggested to enhance overall performance of optimizing tool. Proposed method is investigated on benchmark IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus test distribution systems. Proposed approach is useful for electric utilities to enhance profits and stagger future expansion plans.
