Abstract
This thesis presents new optimization approaches that employs Firefly (FFA), Cuckoo (CSA), Bat (BA), and a flower pollination algorithm (FPA) to determine the optimal DG-unit’s, capacitor banks, and a composite of both DG and capacitor bank size and location in order to minimize the total system real power loss and improve the system buses voltage.
The optimization methods are a new metaheuristic optimization techniques and it is inspired by the reproduction strategy of the flow pollination process of flowering plants. To reveal the validity of the algorithms, IEEE 33-bus, 34-bus, 69-bus, and 136-bus radial distribution test systems are examined.
