    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.145, No.1, pp. 571-596, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.071642 - 30 October 2025

    Abstract Several optimization methods, such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), are used to select the most suitable Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) technology for the optimal operation of the power system, as well as to determine its optimal location and size to minimize power losses. An IEEE 14 bus system, integrating three wind turbines based on Squirrel Cage Induction Generators (SCIGs), is used to test the applicability of the proposed algorithms. The results demonstrate that these algorithms are capable of selecting the most appropriate technology while optimally sizing and locating the STATCOM to More >

    Optimal Placement and Sizing of Distributed Generation Using Metaheuristic Algorithm

    D. Nageswari1,*, N. Kalaiarasi2, G. Geethamahalakshmi1

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.41, No.2, pp. 493-509, 2022, DOI:10.32604/csse.2022.020539 - 25 October 2021

    Abstract Power loss and voltage uncertainty are the major issues prevalently faced in the design of distribution systems. But such issues can be resolved through effective usage of networking reconfiguration that has a combination of Distributed Generation (DG) units from distribution networks. In this point of view, optimal placement and sizing of DGs are effective ways to boost the performance of power systems. The optimum allocation of DGs resolves various problems namely, power loss, voltage profile improvement, enhanced reliability, system stability, and performance. Several research works have been conducted to address the distribution system problems in… More >
