Distributed Generation (DG) technologies have become more and more important in power systems. The objective of the paper is to optimize the distributed energy resource type and size based on uncertainties in the distribution network. The three things are considered in stand point of uncertainties are listed as, (i) Future load growth, (ii) Variation in the solar radiation, (iii) Wind output variation. The challenge in Optimal DG Placement (ODGP) needs to be solved with optimization problem with many objectives and constraints. The ODGP is going to be done here, by using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II). NSGA II is one among the available multi objective optimization algorithms with reduced computational complexity (O=MN2). Because of this prominent feature of NSGA II, it is widely applicable in all the multi objective optimization problems irrespective of disciplines.

Determining the Pareto front of distributed generator and static VAR compens...IJECEIAES
The integration of distributed generators (DGs), which are based on renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and static VAR compensators (SVCs), requires considering more challenging operational cases due to the variability of DG production contributed by different characteristics for different time sequences. The size, quantity, technology, and location of DG units have major effects on the system to benefit from the integration. All these aspects create a multi-objective scope; therefore, it is considered a multi-objective mixed-integer optimization problem. This paper presents an improved multi-objective salp swarm optimization algorithm (MOSSA) to obtain multiple Pareto efficient solutions for the optimal number, location, and capacity of DGs and the controlling strategy of SVC a radial distribution system. MOSSA is a bio-inspired optimizer based on swarm intelligence techniques and it is used in finding the optimal solution for a global optimization problem. Two sets of objective functions have been formulated minimizing DGs and SVC cost, voltage violation, energy losses, and system emission cost. The usefulness of the proposed MOSSA has been tested with the 33-bus and 141-bus radial distribution systems and the qualitative comparisons against two well-known algorithms, multiple objective evolutionary algorithms based on decomposition (MOEA/D), and multiple objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm.
Optimal planning of RDGs in electrical distribution networks using hybrid SAP...IJECEIAES
The impact of the renewable distributed generations (RDGs), such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) systems can be positive or negative on the system, based on the location and size of the DG. So, the correct location and size of DG in the distribution network remain an obstacle to achieving their full possible benefits. Therefore, the future distribution networks with the high penetration of DG power must be planned and operated to improve their efficiency. Thus, this paper presents a new methodology for integrated of renewable energy-based DG units with electrical distribution network. Since the main objective of the proposed methodology is to reduce the power losses and improve the voltage profile of the radial distribution system (RDS). In this regard, the optimization problem was formulated using loss sensitivity factor (LSF), simulated annealing (SA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and a combination of loss sensitivity index (LSI) with SA and PSO (LSISA, LSIPSO) respectively. This paper contributes a new methodology SAPSO, which prevents the defects of SA and PSO. Optimal placement and sizing of renewable energy-based DG tested on 33-bus system. The results demonstrate the reliability and robustness of the proposed SAPSO algorithm to find the near-optimal position and size of the DG units to mitigate the power losses and improve the radial distribution system's voltage profile.

This paper presents a methodology for multiple distributed generator (DG) placement in primary distribution network for loss reduction. Optimal location for distributed generator (DG) is selected by Analytical expressions and the optimal DG size calculated by IA method and loss sensitivity factor (LSF). These two methods are tested on two test systems 33-bus and 69-bus radial distribution systems. The final results showed that LSF gives same loss reduction and minimum voltage in the system with less DG size than obtained in IA method.
Reliability Constrained Unit Commitment Considering the Effect of DG and DR P...IJECEIAES
Due to increase in energy prices at peak periods and increase in fuel cost, involving Distributed Generation (DG) and consumption management by Demand Response (DR) will be unavoidable options for optimal system operations. Also, with high penetration of DGs and DR programs into power system operation, the reliability criterion is taken into account as one of the most important concerns of system operators in management of power system. In this paper, a Reliability Constrained Unit Commitment (RCUC) at presence of time-based DR program and DGs integrated with conventional units is proposed and executed to reach a reliable and economic operation. Designated cost function has been minimized considering reliability constraint in prevailing UC formulation. The UC scheduling is accomplished in short-term so that the reliability is maintained in acceptable level. Because of complex nature of RCUC problem and full AC load flow constraints, the hybrid algorithm included Simulated Annealing (SA) and Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) has been proposed to optimize the problem. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and considerable efficacy of the time-based DR program in reducing operational costs by implementing it on IEEE-RTS79.
Impact of Dispersed Generation on Optimization of Power ExportsIJERA Editor
Dispersed generation (DG) is defined as any source of electrical energy of limited size that is connected directly to the distribution system of a power network. It is also called decentralized generation, embedded generation or distributed generation. Dispersed generation is any modular generation located at or near the load center. It can be applied in the form of rechargeable, such as, mini-hydro, solar, wind and photovoltaic system or in the form of fuel-based systems, such as, fuel cells and micro-turbines. This paper presents the impact of dispersed generation on the optimization of power exports. Computer simulation was carried out using the hourly loads of the selected distribution feeders on Kaduna distribution system as input parameters for the computation of the line loss reduction ratio index (LLRI). The result showed that the line loss reduced from 163.56MW to 144.61 MW when DG was introduced which is an indication of a reduction in line losses with the installation of DG at the various feeders of the distribution system. In all the feeders where DG is integrated, the average magnitude of the line loss reduction index is 0.8754 MW which is less than 1 indicating a reduction in the electrical line losses with the introduction of DG. The line loss reduction index confirmed that by integrating DG into the distribution system, the distribution losses are reduced and optimization of power exports is achieved The results of this research paper will form a basis to establish that proper location of distributed generation units have significant impact on their effective capacity.

Distributed generation (DG) sources are being installed in distribution networks worldwide due to their numerous advantages over the conventional sources which include operational and economical benefits. Random placement of DG sources in a distribution network will result in adverse effects such as increased power loss, loss of voltage stability and reliability, increase in operational costs, power quality issues etc. This paper presents a methodology to obtain the optimal location for the placement of multiple DG sources in a distribution network from a technical perspective. Optimal location is obtained by evaluating a global multi-objective technical index (MOTI) using a weighted sum method. Clonal selection based artificial immune system (AIS) is used along with optimal power flow (OPF) technique to obtain the solution. The proposed method is executed on a standard IEEE-33 bus radial distribution system. The results justify the choice of AIS and the use of MOTI in optimal siting of DG sources which improves the distribution system efficiency to a great extent in terms of reduced real and reactive power losses, improved voltage profile and voltage stability. Solutions obtained using AIS are compared with Genetic algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) solutions for the same objective function.
Optimal power flow based congestion management using enhanced genetic algorithmsIJECEIAES
Congestion management (CM) in the deregulated power systems is germane and of central importance to the power industry. In this paper, an optimal power flow (OPF) based CM approach is proposed whose objective is to minimize the absolute MW of rescheduling. The proposed optimization problem is solved with the objectives of total generation cost minimization and the total congestion cost minimization. In the centralized market clearing model, the sellers (i.e., the competitive generators) submit their incremental and decremental bid prices in a real-time balancing market. These can then be incorporated in the OPF problem to yield the incremental/ decremental change in the generator outputs. In the bilateral market model, every transaction contract will include a compensation price that the buyer-seller pair is willing to accept for its transaction to be curtailed. The modeling of bilateral transactions are equivalent to the modifying the power injections at seller and buyer buses. The proposed CM approach is solved by using the evolutionary based Enhanced Genetic Algorithms (EGA). IEEE 30 bus system is considered to show the effectiveness of proposed CM approach.

In this paper, we aim to delineate the problem of e-waste in Nigeria and highlight a series of measures and the advantage they herald for our country and propose a series of action steps to develop in these areas further. It is possible for Nigeria to have an immediate economic stimulus and job creation while moving quickly to abide by the requirements of climate change legislation and energy efficiency directives. The costs of implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy measures are minimal as they are not cash expenditures but rather investments paid back by future, continuous energy savings.
Performance Evaluation of VANETs for Evaluating Node Stability in Dynamic Sce...Editor IJCATR
Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are a favorable area of exploration which empowers the interconnection amid the movable vehicles and between transportable units (vehicles) and road side units (RSU). In Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), mobile vehicles can be organized into assemblage to promote interconnection links. The assemblage arrangement according to dimensions and geographical extend has serious influence on attribute of interaction .Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are subclass of mobile Ad-hoc network involving more complex mobility patterns. Because of mobility the topology changes very frequently. This raises a number of technical challenges including the stability of the network .There is a need for assemblage configuration leading to more stable realistic network. The paper provides investigation of various simulation scenarios in which cluster using k-means algorithm are generated and their numbers are varied to find the more stable configuration in real scenario of road.

Early detection of diabetes mellitus (DM) can prevent or inhibit complication. There are several laboratory test that must be done to detect DM. The result of this laboratory test then converted into data training. Data training used in this study generated from UCI Pima Database with 6 attributes that were used to classify positive or negative diabetes. There are various classification methods that are commonly used, and in this study three of them were compared, which were fuzzy KNN, C4.5 algorithm and Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC) with one identical case. The objective of this study was to create software to classify DM using tested methods and compared the three methods based on accuracy, precision, and recall. The results showed that the best method was Fuzzy KNN with average and maximum accuracy reached 96% and 98%, respectively. In second place, NBC method had respective average and maximum accuracy of 87.5% and 90%. Lastly, C4.5 algorithm had average and maximum accuracy of 79.5% and 86%, respectively.
Web Scraping for Estimating new Record from Source SiteEditor IJCATR
Study in the Competitive field of Intelligent, and studies in the field of Web Scraping, have a symbiotic relationship mutualism. In the information age today, the website serves as a main source. The research focus is on how to get data from websites and how to slow down the intensity of the download. The problem that arises is the website sources are autonomous so that vulnerable changes the structure of the content at any time. The next problem is the system intrusion detection snort installed on the server to detect bot crawler. So the researchers propose the use of the methods of Mining Data Records and the method of Exponential Smoothing so that adaptive to changes in the structure of the content and do a browse or fetch automatically follow the pattern of the occurrences of the news. The results of the tests, with the threshold 0.3 for MDR and similarity threshold score 0.65 for STM, using recall and precision values produce f-measure average 92.6%. While the results of the tests of the exponential estimation smoothing using ? = 0.5 produces MAE 18.2 datarecord duplicate. It slowed down to 3.6 datarecord from 21.8 datarecord results schedule download/fetch fix in an average time of occurrence news.
Evaluating Semantic Similarity between Biomedical Concepts/Classes through S...Editor IJCATR
Most of the existing semantic similarity measures that use ontology structure as their primary source can measure semantic similarity between concepts/classes using single ontology. The ontology-based semantic similarity techniques such as structure-based semantic similarity techniques (Path Length Measure, Wu and Palmer’s Measure, and Leacock and Chodorow’s measure), information content-based similarity techniques (Resnik’s measure, Lin’s measure), and biomedical domain ontology techniques (Al-Mubaid and Nguyen’s measure (SimDist)) were evaluated relative to human experts’ ratings, and compared on sets of concepts using the ICD-10 “V1.0” terminology within the UMLS. The experimental results validate the efficiency of the SemDist technique in single ontology, and demonstrate that SemDist semantic similarity techniques, compared with the existing techniques, gives the best overall results of correlation with experts’ ratings.

The techniques and tests are tools used to define how measure the goodness of ontology or its resources. The similarity between biomedical classes/concepts is an important task for the biomedical information extraction and knowledge discovery. However, most of the semantic similarity techniques can be adopted to be used in the biomedical domain (UMLS). Many experiments have been conducted to check the applicability of these measures. In this paper, we investigate to measure semantic similarity between two terms within single ontology or multiple ontologies in ICD-10 “V1.0” as primary source, and compare my results to human experts score by correlation coefficient.
A Strategy for Improving the Performance of Small Files in Openstack Swift Editor IJCATR
This is an effective way to improve the storage access performance of small files in Openstack Swift by adding an aggregate storage module. Because Swift will lead to too much disk operation when querying metadata, the transfer performance of plenty of small files is low. In this paper, we propose an aggregated storage strategy (ASS), and implement it in Swift. ASS comprises two parts which include merge storage and index storage. At the first stage, ASS arranges the write request queue in chronological order, and then stores objects in volumes. These volumes are large files that are stored in Swift actually. During the short encounter time, the object-to-volume mapping information is stored in Key-Value store at the second stage. The experimental results show that the ASS can effectively improve Swift's small file transfer performance.
Integrated System for Vehicle Clearance and RegistrationEditor IJCATR
Efficient management and control of government's cash resources rely on government banking arrangements. Nigeria, like many low income countries, employed fragmented systems in handling government receipts and payments. Later in 2016, Nigeria implemented a unified structure as recommended by the IMF, where all government funds are collected in one account would reduce borrowing costs, extend credit and improve government's fiscal policy among other benefits to government. This situation motivated us to embark on this research to design and implement an integrated system for vehicle clearance and registration. This system complies with the new Treasury Single Account policy to enable proper interaction and collaboration among five different level agencies (NCS, FRSC, SBIR, VIO and NPF) saddled with vehicular administration and activities in Nigeria. Since the system is web based, Object Oriented Hypermedia Design Methodology (OOHDM) is used. Tools such as Php, JavaScript, css, html, AJAX and other web development technologies were used. The result is a web based system that gives proper information about a vehicle starting from the exact date of importation to registration and renewal of licensing. Vehicle owner information, custom duty information, plate number registration details, etc. will also be efficiently retrieved from the system by any of the agencies without contacting the other agency at any point in time. Also number plate will no longer be the only means of vehicle identification as it is presently the case in Nigeria, because the unified system will automatically generate and assigned a Unique Vehicle Identification Pin Number (UVIPN) on payment of duty in the system to the vehicle and the UVIPN will be linked to the various agencies in the management information system.

Energy-Aware Routing in Wireless Sensor Network Using Modified Bi-Directional A*Editor IJCATR
Energy is a key component in the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)[1]. The system will not be able to run according to its function without the availability of adequate power units. One of the characteristics of wireless sensor network is Limitation energy[2]. A lot of research has been done to develop strategies to overcome this problem. One of them is clustering technique. The popular clustering technique is Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH)[3]. In LEACH, clustering techniques are used to determine Cluster Head (CH), which will then be assigned to forward packets to Base Station (BS). In this research, we propose other clustering techniques, which utilize the Social Network Analysis approach theory of Betweeness Centrality (BC) which will then be implemented in the Setup phase. While in the Steady-State phase, one of the heuristic searching algorithms, Modified Bi-Directional A* (MBDA *) is implemented. The experiment was performed deploy 100 nodes statically in the 100x100 area, with one Base Station at coordinates (50,50). To find out the reliability of the system, the experiment to do in 5000 rounds. The performance of the designed routing protocol strategy will be tested based on network lifetime, throughput, and residual energy. The results show that BC-MBDA * is better than LEACH. This is influenced by the ways of working LEACH in determining the CH that is dynamic, which is always changing in every data transmission process. This will result in the use of energy, because they always doing any computation to determine CH in every transmission process. In contrast to BC-MBDA *, CH is statically determined, so it can decrease energy usage.

Report handling on "LAPOR!" (Laporan, Aspirasi dan Pengaduan Online Rakyat) system depending on the system administrator who manually reads every incoming report [3]. Read manually can lead to errors in handling complaints [4] if the data flow is huge and grows rapidly, it needs at least three days to prepare a confirmation and it sensitive to inconsistencies [3]. In this study, the authors propose a model that can measure the identities of the Query (Incoming) with Document (Archive). The authors employed Class-Based Indexing term weighting scheme, and Cosine Similarities to analyse document similarities. CoSimTFIDF, CoSimTFICF and CoSimTFIDFICF values used in classification as feature for K-Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) classifier. The optimum result evaluation is pre-processing employ 75% of training data ratio and 25% of test data with CoSimTFIDF feature. It deliver a high accuracy 84%. The k = 5 value obtain high accuracy 84.12%
Hangul Recognition Using Support Vector MachineEditor IJCATR
The recognition of Hangul Image is more difficult compared with that of Latin. It could be recognized from the structural arrangement. Hangul is arranged from two dimensions while Latin is only from the left to the right. The current research creates a system to convert Hangul image into Latin text in order to use it as a learning material on reading Hangul. In general, image recognition system is divided into three steps. The first step is preprocessing, which includes binarization, segmentation through connected component-labeling method, and thinning with Zhang Suen to decrease some pattern information. The second is receiving the feature from every single image, whose identification process is done through chain code method. The third is recognizing the process using Support Vector Machine (SVM) with some kernels. It works through letter image and Hangul word recognition. It consists of 34 letters, each of which has 15 different patterns. The whole patterns are 510, divided into 3 data scenarios. The highest result achieved is 94,7% using SVM kernel polynomial and radial basis function. The level of recognition result is influenced by many trained data. Whilst the recognition process of Hangul word applies to the type 2 Hangul word with 6 different patterns. The difference of these patterns appears from the change of the font type. The chosen fonts for data training are such as Batang, Dotum, Gaeul, Gulim, Malgun Gothic. Arial Unicode MS is used to test the data. The lowest accuracy is achieved through the use of SVM kernel radial basis function, which is 69%. The same result, 72 %, is given by the SVM kernel linear and polynomial.

Survey on Energy-Efficient Routing Algorithms for Underwater Wireless Sensor ...Editor IJCATR
In underwater environment, for retrieval of information the routing mechanism is used. In routing mechanism there are three to four types of nodes are used, one is sink node which is deployed on the water surface and can collect the information, courier/super/AUV or dolphin powerful nodes are deployed in the middle of the water for forwarding the packets, ordinary nodes are also forwarder nodes which can be deployed from bottom to surface of the water and source nodes are deployed at the seabed which can extract the valuable information from the bottom of the sea. In underwater environment the battery power of the nodes is limited and that power can be enhanced through better selection of the routing algorithm. This paper focuses the energy-efficient routing algorithms for their routing mechanisms to prolong the battery power of the nodes.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Abstract: The optimal sizing and placement of Distributed Generation units (DG) are becoming very attractive to researchers these
days. In this paper a two stage approach has been used for allocation and sizing of DGs in distribution system with time varying load
model. The strategic placement of DGs can help in reducing energy losses and improving voltage profile. The proposed work
discusses time varying loads that can be useful for selecting the location and optimizing DG operation. The method has the potential to
be used for integrating the available DGs by identifying the best locations in a power system. The proposed method has been
demonstrated on 9-bus test system.
Keywords: Distribution Generation (DG), Optimal placement, Time-varying load, Load profile, Energy losses
1. INTRODUCTION
In the restructured power systems, in order to considering
losses, distributed generation units have been spread out in the
power distribution systems. In the literature review, DG is a
small scale power generation that is usually connected to a
distribution system. DGs mainly consist of renewable energy
resources such as photovoltaics (PV), wind turbines, and fuel
cells. Among them PVs and fuel cells are DC resources and
they are connecting to the power grid by DC/DC and DC/AC
converters. DC/DC converters are mainly used to provide a
controlled output voltage under different load variation [1].
The term DG also implies the use of generation units to lower
the cost of services. A potential advantage of DG over
conventional generations is that the energy production takes
place near the consumer, which can minimize the power
losses in the distribution lines.
Naresh Acharya et al suggested a heuristic method in [2] to
select appropriate location and to calculate DG size for
minimum real power losses. Though the method is effective in
selecting location, it requires more computational efforts. The
optimal value of DG for minimum system losses is calculated
at each bus. Placing the calculated DG size for the buses one
by one, corresponding system losses are calculated and
compared to decide the appropriate location. Moreover, the
heuristic search requires exhaustive search for all possible
locations which may not be applicable to more than one DG.
This method is used to calculate DG size based on
approximate loss formula may lead to an inappropriate
solution [3].
Go swami et al, [4] have analyzed load voltage sensitivity
considering load models of voltage dependent load, whereas
this method has been done by genetic algorithm. Singh et al
[5] unlike other studies which dealt with the constant load
models have studied on the effect of different load and
sensitive to voltage and frequency and then they found the
best location for DG units.
Authors of [6] have used and analytical method for optimal
DG allocation, this method is based on power flow for the
radial network and calculate loss sensitivity factor and priority
list, which causes reduction on the search space. In [7] are
proposed a heuristic method for optimal sizing and placement
of DG in order to reduce economic costs, like energy cost,
investment, operational cost, loss cost and technical aspect
such as energy loss and voltage level.
In [8] optimal DG location is obtained considering economic
and operational limits of DG and distribution system. Optimal
DG placement is accomplished in [9] to maximize DG
application benefit and minimize the costs for both utility and
customers. A loss minimization approach is used in [10] too
find optimal DG location.
There are so many DG placement methods in hand though
each of these methods only focuses on some parameters. The
optimal DG placement defined in [11] takes reliability, loss
reduction, and load prediction into account while it fails to
account for other parameters such as productivity, cost
effectiveness, and type of DG. The optimal DG placement
defined in [12] takes productivity, cost, effectiveness, loss
reduction, and reliability and DG type into account and fails
to consider other parameters.
In [13], a Newton-Raphson algorithm based load flow
program is used to solve the load flow problem. The
methodology for optimal placement of only one DG type 1 is
proposed. Moreover, the heuristic search requires exhaustive
search for all possible locations which may not be applicable
to more than one DG. Therefore, in this paper, PSO method is
proposed to determine the optimal location and sizes of multi-
DGs to minimize total real power loss of distribution systems.
Whether DG is properly planned and operated it may provide
benefits to distribution networks (e.g., reduction of power
losses and/or deferment of investments for network enforcing,
etc.), otherwise it can cause degradation of power quality,
reliability, and control of the power system [14]. Also,
placement of different DG units in the power system should

Volume 7–Issue 09, 370-375, 2018, ISSN:-2319–8656

be done considering interactions of the different units under
primary and secondary frequency regulation carefully to
prevent power system instability [15]. Thus, DG offers an
alternative that planners should explore in their search for the
best solution to electric supply problems and requires new
planning paradigms and procedures able to face a more
complex and uncertain scenario [16], [17], [18], [19].
Ault et al. in [20] have pointed out the dichotomy between the
advanced status of academic researches on planning and the
unwillingness of companies to resort to such algorithms.
Indeed, the planners need tools to deal with uncertainties,
risks, and multiple criteria. The final choice will be
subjectively operated in the set of good solutions. To consider
uncertainties of parameters and system inputs, [21] uses
reachability analysis which is a mathematical analysis based
on uncertain matrices. Reachability analysis can also be used
to study DG integration and planning uncertainties.
An optimization technique should be employed for the design
of engineering systems, allowing for the best allocation of
limited financial resources. In electric power systems, most of
the electrical energy losses occur in the distribution systems.
It is a tool that can be used both for the design of a new
distribution system and for the resizing of an existing system
[22]. In [23] application of robust MPC provides an optimal
solution to handle the system uncertainties. In [24] Monte-
Carlo method is used to take uncertainties into account for
renewable generation.
Distributed generation is not limited to conventional
generation of electricity. A controlled reduction in demand
can play the same role as distributed generation. For instance,
[25] studies the possibility of using aggregation of small
{ON/OFF} loads as a compensation for renewables variations.
It was shown that only in Texas, 1.5 GW of flexible demand
can act as distributed generation when controlled over the
WiFi network.
Distributed Generation sometimes provides the most
economical solution to load variations. Under voltages or
overloads that are created by load growth may only exist on
the circuit for a small number of hours per day or/ month or/
year. There may be many locations where DGs can be located
and provide the necessary control [26]. Also, the authors
address this issue for small size distributed generators in [27].
In [28] UPFC acts like a DG, and leads to power swing
reduction and enhancing the system stability by reactive
power injection.
However, the current research lacks the complete solution to
the determination of DG allocation and operation, together
with considering load voltage profile and time varying loads.
For example too much emphasis on power loss cost and
construction expenses but ignorance of the time varying loads
and energy loss factors.
Moreover, the absence of the consideration about operation of
DGs in the network structure may lead to the confusion of the
benefit of placing DGs and dispatching policy.
The optimal placement and dispatching investigated in this
paper are divided into two major parts, namely optimal
allocation and optimal sizing of DGs. In firs part of section 2,
placement of DGs is done based on the summation of energy
losses during 24 hour and for time varying loads. In second
part of section 2 sizing of DGs is determined in each time
interval. In section 3 simulation network is explained.
Simulation results on the test system are illustrated in section
4. Then the conclusion is given in section 5.
2. PROPOSED METHOD
2.1 Optimal Allocation of DGs
Optimal DG placement achieved to gain the optimal DG
location to minimize or maximize a particular objective
function. The optimal allocation model of DG is used to solve
the problem of sizing and siting of various DGs [29,30].
Here, an energy based approach is explained for placement of
a conventional DG in a distribution system. In this work
conventional DGs are supposed to be diesel generators and
fossil fuels producers. Wind turbines and solar panels have
some limitations that cannot be used everywhere in
distribution network and should be place in some particular
locations. By considering these facts, only conventional DGs
will be placed.
Loads that are studied here, are time varying that have
different values at each time of day and night. Thus, the goal
is minimizing the energy loss of distribution network. Load
model are usually considered to be constant in a time period,
while in reality, loads are function of the ambient temperature
and human behavior [31,32]
So, considering energy losses instead of power losses seems
better and therefore, minimizing the energy losses is the final
goal. Using medium-voltage and high-voltage dc collection
system would further improve the efficiency [33]. In [34] and
[35], a new method for application in communication circuit
system is proposed that it causes increasing the efficiency,
PAE, output power and gain.
In order to minimizing the energy losses, load modeling is
inevitable. As the load varies along time in 24 hour of a day,
the time period should be divided into some appropriate
intervals in order to approximate the load to be constant in
each interval based on load profile. For instance, load profile
in 24 hours is considered as follows:
Figure 1: Load profile in 24 hours
Considering magnitude and variation of load during 24 hours
of a day, sometime-intervals seem appropriate for the
proposed method. Depending on the accuracy needed in a
3. International Journal of Computer Applications Technology and Research
Volume 7–Issue 09, 370-375, 2018, ISSN:-2319–8656
www.ijcat.com 372
power network, the number of time intervals are computed. In
each interval, load is being estimated by the average of load
during at that interval with trapezoid method.
It should be noted that the duration of time intervals should
not be the same. For example in the first times of a day that
the demands are low and the variation is low enough to be
neglected, the duration of that interval could be large enough
to estimate the load at that interval. Although, in peak hours
the variation of demands are high and the time interval should
be considered small.
Here, in each interval in order to reduce energy losses of total
network, the generation energy of each bus is computed. The
proposed energy loss factor due to line currents can be defined
as:
Where:
Rk are the kth
line total resistance.
N is the number of lines in the network.
T is the number of intervals for load modeling.
Ikj is the current for kth
line in jth
interval.
tj is the duration of kth
interval.
With this in mind, the optimization objective and the
constraints are as follows:
Where, and
In this section, the goal is siting the DGs in special buses in
order to minimizing the energy loss. For this purpose, it is
assumed that in each bus of the network, there is possibility to
generate electrical energy and so, DGs could be place
anywhere in the power network.
Power generated in each interval by each DG could be
varying from 0 MW to the total load at that interval. The step
of variation is considered 2 MW. In other words, DGs are
available at sizes of 2 MW and in each bus, there is possibility
to place any number of DGs.
The result of optimizing this problem is the power generated
by each DG at each interval. The output power of each DG is
given by:
Where, Kij is the number of 2 MW steps in ith
bus and jth
time
interval. The total energy produced by each bus during the 24
hours is as follows:
As there is limitation in producing energy at all buses,
selecting the buses that generate more energy is important.
Therefore, by selecting the buses with bigger Ei and based on
the number of buses needed for generating energy, placement
of DGs is finished. For example if just 4 buses have this
ability to be placed by DGs, 4 buses with higher total energy
producing will be selected.
2.2 Optimal Sizing of DGs
In this section, after optimal DG placement and selecting the
generator buses, the power generated by each DG in the
selected buses for each time interval should be determined. In
other words, Operation of DGs contributes in minimizing the
total energy losses of the network. Thus, scheduling the
energy produced by each DG should be done.
For this purpose, the minimizing objective is as mentioned
before. The difference is just the number of buses producing
energy. In the previous section, the placement of DGs is done
in all the buses of the network and based on the total energy
produced in each bus, buses with higher Ei was selected. In
this section, placement of DGs is just done in the selected
buses of the previous section.
In optimizing the size of the DGs in order to improve
computational accuracy, steps of variation in the power
generated is considered 0.5 MW. In other words, DGs are
available at sizes of 0.5 MW and in each bus, there is
possibility to place any number of DGs. It should be
considered that increasing the steps of variation is possible,
due to reduction in the number of buses generating energy and
so the computational time will not increase so much.
With this consideration, the objective function and
optimization problem is as mentioned before. The difference
is just the output. The output of this optimization is generated
power matrix in each bus.
The matrix is as follows:
Where Pij is the generated power of ith
bus producer energy
and time interval and is computed as follows:
In this formula, Kij is the number of 0.5 MW steps.
According to this goal optimization, the loss reduces when
DGs are placed. Also, the voltage limits that mentioned
before, shows that the appropriate voltage of a certain bus
depends on the minimum and maximum voltages of the bus
which considered 0.95 and 1.05 p.u, respectively.

3. SIMULATION NETWORK
In the proposed work, in order to implement the suggested
method and compare the results with the network without
DGs, a 9-bus distribution ring network has been selected as a
sample. It should be noted that the specified algorithm can be
used for all distribution networks with any number of buses
and there is no limitation in implementing this algorithm. The
single line diagram of the sample network is illustrated in
figure 2.
Figure 2: Single line diagram of the sample network
According to figure 2, the nine-bus system contains two
sections. Section 1 is buses 1, 2, and 3 with voltage of 63 kV.
These buses get connected to the other section by
transformers with the ratio of 63/20. The other section is
buses 4 to 9 with voltage of 20 kV. Placement of DGs is done
in section 2, in the ring network with buses of 20 kV.
Table 1 shows the data of the lines of the network.

For load modeling, it is considered that the load variation
curve is as plotted in figure 1. So, 7 time interval could be
appropriate for this purpose. These time intervals are as
follows:
Figure 3 shows the load profile estimation for load number 1
in 24 hours of a day.

4. SIMULATION RESULTS
This study aims to optimize the placement and operation of
DGs by taking energy losses into account. It should be noted
that siting the DGs is done in 20 kV buses.
The peak demand in this network is 20 MW. Thus, the
maximum total power generated by these 3-DG, are
considered to be nearly 20 MW in peak hours. In other time
intervals, also the total energy produced by DGs is near the
total load at that interval.
In the first step, the goal is the placement of DGs in the
network. By implementing the proposed method on the
sample network, these results are achieved.
In this case, it is assumed that only 3 buses can produce
energy. By this consideration, buses 1, 5 and 6 which have the
biggest Ei are selected.
In the second step, the goal is optimal operation of DGs in the
selected buses. Here, the algorithm of sizing the DGs is
implemented on the buses 1, 5 and 6.
The following matrix is achieved for power generated at each
time interval.

The above matrix shows that some DGs produce more energy
than the other one in some intervals and in the other intervals
it is vice versa. For example, DG 3 in times 7 to 16 produce
more energy than DG 2, but in times 20 to 22 produce less
energy than DG 2.
By considering the results of the above matrix, it is shown that
placement of the DGs should not be based on the peak
demand which is done in many of the research.
This method schedules the DGs based on the minimization of
energy loss and gives a generating profile to each DG.
Table 3 compares the energy losses of the proposed method
with the case that sizes of DGs are equal. Table 4 compares
the results with other placement of DGs. The results of the
tables show that the proposed method has the optimal
solution.

By considering the results that shown in table 3 and 4, it is
obvious that placement of DGs should not be based on the
peak load, which is done in many of the research.
5. CONCLUSION
This paper has discussed a two stage methodology of finding
the optimal location and sizes of DGs for maximum energy
loss reduction of distribution systems. First stage is DG
placement method which is proposed to find optimal DG
location. Second stage is optimal DG operation based on load
varying. Voltage constraints are included in the algorithm.
This methodology is tested on 9 bus system. By installing
DGs at all the potential locations and optimizing the size at
each time interval, the total energy loss of the system has been
reduced and the voltage profile of the system is also
considered.
Inclusion of the non-linear loads and power quality constraints
is the future scope of this work.
