Abstract

Paper presented to the 3rd Southern African Solar Energy Conference, South Africa, 11-13 May, 2015.
The Distributed Generations (DGs) storage may store energy during solar energy peak and use it during peak demand. Proper allocation of DG storage is essential to extract maximum possible benefits. This paper introduces a Bat Algorithm (BA) for optimal allocation of DGs in radial distribution networks. The problem is formulated to maximize annual energy loss reduction and to maintain a better node voltage profile under a piece-wise linear variable load pattern using a penalty factor approach. The proposed method is applied on the benchmark IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus system available in literature and the results obtained are promising.
