Optimal Distributed Generation (DG) Allocation for Transmission Losses Minimization Using Arithmetic Optimization Algorithms (AOA)

This research paper presents research on the optimal placement and sizing of distributed generation (DG) units in power systems. The integration of DG units plays a key role in addressing the growing demand for renewable energy sources and improving grid stability. The objective of this study is to minimize transmission losses using Arithmetic Optimization Algorithms (AOA). Extensive experiments and analyzes are conducted with a focus on testing AOA performance on both weak and secure bus scenarios. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of AOA in achieving optimal DG placement, resulting in reduced transmission loss and improved system performance. Findings from this research provide valuable insights for power system planners and operators, assist decision-making processes in optimizing DG integration, and increase the overall efficiency of power systems.
