Description
Summary:As the demand for electricity increases, losses occur on the electric distribution system lines, which pose a significant challenge for electric distribution companies. These losses refer to the amount of electricity that is injected into the distribution grids but not paid for by users. In recent years, the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) has gained popularity in the electrical power field due to its ability to improve the stability and flexibility of power systems. However, it is not cost-effective to install a BESS on every bus because of its high cost. This article uses the Dragonfly Algorithm (DA) to optimize the placement of BESS and minimize power loss in the power system. The research considered two cases involving 33 and 85 buses, respectively. Both cases led to a significant reduction in power system losses. In case one, the total loss dropped from 0.211 MW to 0.1111 MW, leading to a 47.33% decrease in system loss, while in case two, the total loss reduced from 0.2993 MW to 0.1673 MW, resulting in a 44.1% reduction in system loss.
