Minimizing Power Loss: Genetic Algorithm Optimization for DG Location and Sizing

In the power distribution system several factors contribute to power losses. Resistance in transmission lines creates heat and that heat represents waste energy leading to power losses. The mismatch between supply and demand leads to power losses in power distribution system. Power distribution system's power loss minimization is done by a simulated analyzing technique where Genetic algorithm is used for locating the best location of DGs in the IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system. An advanced technique utilizing Genetic algorithm is explored for DG placement and sizing, decreasing losses and boosting voltage profiles in distribution network. The work emphasizes the crucial role of proper DG positioning in improving system efficiency by reducing power losses and optimizing voltage at random buses. The backward-forward sweep procedure is employed for distribution power flow analysis, highlighting the work's contribution to effective and vital power system optimization by simulating the four cases based on voltage profile and power losses.
