Abstract

Abstract: Increasing energy demand can be compensated with integration of distributed energy resources in the three-phase distribution system. Load flow analysis of the unbalanced three-phase distribution system requires a tool and algorithm to manage the multiple sources. In this study, Jaya algorithm is applied and interfaced with open source software openDSS to solve the unbalanced three-phase optimal power flow. Further, co-simulation framework is used to obtain the optimal allocation of two types of multiple distributed generators in unbalanced radial distribution system. The effectiveness of the approach is validated on IEEE 123 node distribution system. For a realistic study, mixes of all type of loads and configuration of the actual distribution system are considered. The results are compared with already published results obtained from established particle swarm optimization.
