- Abstract
The distribution systems act as the primary connecting point between the power utility and the end users of the electricity. It is vital to assess the behaviour of the network when subjected to a variety of various types of loads and any new D-FACTS devices that may be developed in the near future, in order to improve the operation and planning of electrical distribution systems. The authors of this article performed an analysis of the distribution system when unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) was present and acting as a Distribution FACTS device. The main objective of this article is to minimization of total investment cost of UPQC as well as system operating considering distribution network reconfiguration (DNR). For optimal solution, an improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA) has been introduced. Besides, impact of voltage dependent load models has been studied. In order to evaluate the practicability and usefulness of the suggested strategy, a number of potential outcomes involving the DNR and allocation of UPQC under a voltage dependent load model have been considered. The active and reactive power losses have been reduced by 44.67 % and 37.42 %, respectively, as compared to conventional schemes (such as UPQC allocation solely). In addition, the proposed methodology results in cost reductions of around 33.68 % annually.
