This paper explores optimizing power distribution in radial systems by integrating Distributed Generation (DG), Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM), and Network Reconfiguration (NR). Radial distribution systems face challenges like power losses and voltage instability. To tackle these issues, the study employs a systematic approach that includes network reconfiguration and advanced load flow analysis using the Forward–Backward Sweep Method while utilizing the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm for optimal sizing and positioning of DG units. Simulation studies on the IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system across different load conditions (Base Case, Light Load, and Peak Load) reveal that the joint implementation of DG and D-STATCOM significantly reduces total power losses and improves minimum bus voltage levels. Results show a loss reduction of up to 77%, enhancing efficiency and reliability. This research emphasizes the importance of modern power system technologies in improving distribution performance and promoting sustainable energy solutions.

摘要

This paper explores optimizing power distribution in radial systems by integrating Distributed Generation (DG), Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM), and Network Reconfiguration (NR). Radial distribution systems face challenges like power losses and voltage instability. To tackle these issues, the study employs a systematic approach that includes network reconfiguration and advanced load flow analysis using the Forward–Backward Sweep Method while utilizing the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm for optimal sizing and positioning of DG units. Simulation studies on the IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system across different load conditions (Base Case, Light Load, and Peak Load) reveal that the joint implementation of DG and D-STATCOM significantly reduces total power losses and improves minimum bus voltage levels. Results show a loss reduction of up to 77%, enhancing efficiency and reliability. This research emphasizes the importance of modern power system technologies in improving distribution performance and promoting sustainable energy solutions.
