A method for reliability optimization of distributed generation using meta-heuristic and probabilistic techniques

Abstract:

This article shows a method to optimize the reliability of an electric power system by the introduction of distributed generation. The reliability index of the system is determined as the failure probability of the system. A hybrid method that uses a binary shuffled frog-leaping algorithm and probabilistic load flow is proposed to search a large number of combinations for location and size of biomass power plants and photovoltaic units. The combination with the best performance minimizes the reliability index (probability of failure) of the system.
