Common technique has been discussed in this paper for the reconfiguration of feeder network by optimal location and measuring of Distribution Generator (DG) in electrical power system. The consolidated execution of both Biography Based Optimization (BBO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) strategies are the curiosity of the proposed strategy. The optimization techniques are utilized for optimizing the optimum location and DG capacity for radial distribution network. The BBO algorithm requires radial distribution network voltage, real and reactive power for deciding the optimum location and capacity of the DG. Here, the input parameters of BBO are classified into sub parameters and permitted as the PSO algorithm optimization process. The PSO develops the sub solution with the assistance of sub parameters by issue synthesis. For identifying the optimum location and capacity of DG the BBO movement and mutation process is applied for the sub solution of PSO. At that point the proposed mutual technique is actualized in the MATLAB/simulink platform and by contrasting it with the BBO and PSO systems the effectiveness is scrutinized. The comparison results demonstrate the predominance of the proposed approach and affirm its capability to comprehend the issue.

In the distribution system, distributed generation (DG) are getting more important because of the electricity demands, fossil fuel depletion and environment concerns. The placement and sizing of DGs have greatly impact on the voltage stability and losses in the distribution network. In this chapter, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm has been proposed for optimal placement and sizing of DG to improve voltage stability index in the radial distribution system. The two i.e. active power and combination of active and reactive power types of DGs are proposed to realize the effect of DG integration. A specific analysis has been applied on IEEE 33 bus system radial distribution networks using MATLAB 2015a software.

A Radial Distribution network is important in power system area because of its simple design and reduced cost. Reduction of system losses and improvement of voltage profile is one of the key aspects in power system operation. Distributed generators are beneficial in reducing losses effectively in distribution systems as compared to other methods of loss reduction. Sizing and location of DG sources places an important role in reducing losses in distribution network. Four types of DG are considered in this paper with one DG installed for minimize the total real and reactive power losses. The objective of this methodology is to calculate size and to identify the corresponding optimum location for DG placement for minimizing the total real and reactive power losses and to improve voltage profile   in primary distribution system. It can obtain maximum loss reduction for each of four types of optimally placed DGs. Optimal sizing of Distributed Generation can be calculated using exact loss formula and an efficient approach is used to determine the optimum location for Distributed Generation Placement.  To demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach 36-bus radial distribution system in Belin Substation in Myanmar was tested and validated with different sizes and the result was discussed.

In the deregulated power system, it would be difficult to assess and evaluate the prices for transmission lines in the power factor-based approach. In the Indian power sector, different electrical power users follow a regional price method of wheeling power rates. Because of the policy change, the postage stamp system is no longer suitable for the Indian electricity generation. It is because nonlinear power flow is very influential in creating prices between transmission lines. The MW-mile method is used for real power wheeling price assessment, and MVA-mile method is employed for the accurate and reactive power wheeling price assessment. For various flow-based processes to be efficient, decision-makers should consider the different optimization techniques. This paper proposes a new method by which wheeling prices can be allocated for the Indian utility IEEE 14-bus system using the MVA-mile and MW-mile method based on the PSO algorithm approach for optimum power flow calculation In this paper, MW-Mile based, MVA-Mile based incremental cost of power demand addition and power factor-based approach are utilised. Sensitivity analysis will take place. It is also pertinent to study the DC load flow based costs.

Power loss reduction is an important problem that needs to be addressed with respect to generating electrical power. It is important to reduce power loss using locally generated power sources and/or compensations. This chapter brings a method of presents a method of maximizing energy utilization, feeder loss reduction, and voltage profile improvement for radial distribution network using the active and reactive power sources. Distributed Generation (DG) (wind and solar with backup by biomass generation) and shunt capacitor (QG) for reactive power demand are used. Integrating DG and QG at each bus might reduce the loss but it is economically unaffordable, especially for developing countries. Therefore, the utilization optimization method is required for finding an optimal size and location to feeders for placing QG and DG to minimize feeder loss.

A cooperative strategy to reconfigure the feeder network by maximizing the location and volume of the distribution generator (DG) in the power system was addressed in this report. The new feature of the proposed method is the integrated output of the Biography Based Optimization (BBO) and PSO techniques. The above methods are the optimization techniques used to configure the radial distribution system for the optimal position and capacities of the DG. For determining the optimum position and strength of the DG, the BBO algorithm includes radial distribution network voltage, actual and reactive energy. The input parameters of BBO are classified into sub settings here and are allowed as the optimization of the PSO algorithm. The PSO synthesizes the problem and uses sub-parameters to create the sub-solution. The method of BBO migration and mutation is used to determine the optimal position and ability of DG for the sub solution of PSO. The cooperative strategy introduced is then applied on the system MATLAB / Simulink, and the usefulness is evaluated using BBO and PSO techniques. The findings of the analysis demonstrate the strength of the solution suggested and affirm its capacity for resolving the problem.

The ever increasing global demand on the electrical energy has lead to the integration of Distributed Generators (DGs) onto the distribution power systems networks to supplement on the deficiencies on the electrical energy generation capacities. The high penetration levels of DGs on the electrical distribution networks experienced over the past decade calls for the grid operators to periodically and critically asses the impacts brought by the DGs on the distribution network operations. The assessment on the impacts brought by the DGs on the distribution network operations is done by simulating the dynamic response of the network to major disturbances occurring on the network like the faults once the DGs have been connected into it. Connection of Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) into a conventional electrical energy distribution network has great impacts on the short circuit current levels experienced during a fault and also on the protective devices used in protecting the distribution network equipment namely; the transformers, the overhead distribution lines, the underground cables and the line compensators and the shunt capacitors commonly used/found on the relatively long rural distribution feeders. The main factors which contribute to the impacts brought by the WTGs integration onto a conventional distribution network are: The location of interconnecting the WTG/s into the distribution feeder; The size/s of the WTG/s in terms of their electrical wattage penetrating the distribution network; And the type of the WTG interfacing technology used labeled/classified as, Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV WTGs. Even though transformers are the simplest and the most reliable devices in an electrical power system, transformer failures can occur due to internal or external conditions that make the transformer incapable of performing its proper functions. Appropriate transformer protection should be used with the objectives of protecting the electrical power system in case of a transformer failure and also to protect the transformer itself from the power system disturbances like the faults. This paper was to investigate the effects of integrating WTGs on a distribution transformer Fuse-Fuse conventional protection coordination scheme. The radial distribution feeder studied was the IEEE 13 node radial test feeder and it was simulated using the Electrical Transient Analysis Program (ETAP) software for distribution transformer Fuse-Fuse protection coordination analysis. The IEEE 13 Node radial test feeder In-line transformer studied is a three-phase  step down transformer having a star solidly grounded primary winding supplied at  and a star solidly grounded secondary winding feeding power at a voltage of . The increase on the short circuit currents at the In-line transformer nodes due to the WTG integration continuously reduces the time coordination margins between the upstream fuse F633 and the downstream fuse F634 used to protect the transformer.


Now days’ electrical power requirement has enlarged expanding as expansion & restructuring of electrical power system (PS) for generation & transmission in power sector is critically limited due to current resources & environmental circumstances. As outcome, approximately of corridors of power transmission overhead lines are greatly loaded & congested. Also major issue of power system voltage stability becomes power transfer restricted and capability issue. A Modern power electronics technology FATCS considered device Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is VSC demanded series FACTS equipment. Unified power flow controller (UPFC) is to manage power flow (PF), voltage magnitude & phase angle. In this research paper suggested to maintain voltage magnitude as well as PF of faulty lines. The consequence of mutation of PS parameters like voltage, phase angle, active power, reactive power, & overall power factor with & without SSSC & UPFC have also incorporated. Assessment of PS safety is essential in society to expand customs to sustain system functions when one or more components fail. A PS is "secure" when it can defy loss of one or more ingredients & still go on working without major problems. The Contingency event investigation technique is taken to identify electrical node PF in faulty transmission lines (TL). The Performance of PS has been tested on IEEE 14-Bus System.
