Abstract

The research proposes a new oppositional sine cosine muted differential evolution algorithm (O-SCMDEA) for the optimal allocation of distributed generators (OADG) in active power distribution networks. The suggested approach employs a hybridization of the classic differential evolution algorithm and the sine cosine algorithm in order to incorporate the exploitation and exploration capabilities of the differential evolution algorithm and the sine cosine algorithm, respectively. Further, the convergence speed of the proposed algorithm is accelerated through the judicious application of opposition-based learning. The OADG is solved by considering three separate mono-objectives (real power loss minimization, voltage deviation improvement and maximization of the voltage stability index) and a multi-objective framework combining the above three. OADG is also addressed for DGs operating at the unity power factor and lagging power factor while meeting the pragmatic operational requirements of the system. The suggested algorithm for multiple DG allocation is evaluated using a small test distribution network (33 bus) and two bigger test distribution networks (118 bus and 136 bus). The results are also compared to recent state-of-the-art metaheuristic techniques, demonstrating the superiority of the proposed method for solving OADG, particularly for large-scale distribution networks. Statistical analysis is also performed to showcase the genuineness and robustness of the obtained results. A post hoc analysis using Friedman–ANOVA and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests reveals that the results are of statistical significance.
