Description
Summary:Ever-increasing load-demand, threaten the continuity of power supply and diminishes power quality causing serious technical challenges in distribution networks. In this regards, commonly used cheaper practices like capacitor allocation and network configuration, can enhance operational parameters of the network. On the other hand, supplying the future loaddemand, requires installing new substations or distributed generations (DGs). Because of DGs inherent technical and economic advantages, Distribution Company (DisCo), encourage private investment to install DGs, by signing long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with DG owners (DGO). In such a situation created, DG allocation and simultaneously capacitor allocation and network configuration can be economical for both DisCo and DGO and also can enhance the reliability and power quality. So, this paper is aimed to find the annual instants for network configuration; timing, sizing and sitting of capacitors and DGs, and PPA rates using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO). Also, the uncertainties of load-demand and electricity-price, voltage-sensitive loads and load priority in power supply are applied into the planning problem. Voltage deviation and voltage stability are considered as constraints which must be better in optimum solution. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme, is validated by computer simulation done on a 33-Bus IEEE distribution network and the outcomes are discussed.
