Abstract
- In this paper, a multiobjective framework for simultaneous reconfiguration and allocation of photovoltaic (PV) energy resources in radial distribution networks is performed for minimizing the power losses, lowering network loading factor, and reducing cost of energy resources as well as increasing the voltage stability index. A novel algorithm called the improved clouded leopard algorithm is used to find the set of optimum decision factors in the combined execution of restructuring and also PV resource distribution. The clouded leopard optimization (CLO) algorithm, which is widely used, takes its cues from the sleeping and foraging habits of the animal, and the improved CLO (ICLO) is formed using adaptive inertia weight to overcome premature convergence. In five cases of base distribution network and different contribution of reconfiguration and PV allocation, single- and multiobjective approach has been applied on 33- and 69-bus distribution networks. According to the findings, the best case includes simultaneous reconfiguration and PV allocation in the radial networks based on the multiobjective approach unlike the single-objective method which obtained the highest network performance with the best compromise between different goals. Also, in the best lowest losses, the decrease in the network loading and cost of energy resources and the better voltage profile and stability are obtained satisfying the constraints. The losses, network loading, voltage profile, and voltage stability are improved by 60.40%, 37.89%, 6.17%, and 27.5% for 33-bus network and also enhanced by 71.77%, 41.23%, 4.76%, and 20.48% for 69-bus network, respectively. Also, the results showed that network reconfiguration only has the weakest performance among other cases based on reconfiguration or photovoltaic sources. Moreover, the superior capability of the ICLO in addressing the aim of the study is proved in comparison with the traditional CLO and well-known particle swarm optimization (PSO) and manta ray foraging optimization (MRFO) to obtain the better objective value and statistical criteria to solve the best case.
