Abstract

With the growing need of energy and the recent concerns about global warming, attention has been brought towards the integration of renewable energy sources into existing power grids. The optimal location of the units and their sizes are significant parameters that influence the overall performance of the power grid. Most of the recent placement and sizing methods rely on using heuristic optimization algorithms, which rely on particles that are randomly deployed in the search space in order to recognize the optimal values that minimizes the cost value. In this study, a geolocation-aware representation of the power grid is proposed, which allows the optimizers to conduct a more efficient search, as the changes of the values matches the movement of the particles in the search space. Hence, the proposed approach has been able to significantly improve the performance of the optimizers, which in return has significantly improved the characteristics of the power grid. Accordingly, the proposed approach has been able to improve the IEEE 33 bus radial distribution test system by reducing the loss to 6.7KW, compared to the original 24.97, by adding two generation units, with significant improvement in the voltage profile, with minimum voltage of 0.9976 Pu and maximum and average voltage of 1Pu.
