Placement of distributed generation using Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) in south of Kerman

In this paper a new approach using Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) is presented for the placement of Distributed Generators (DGs) in radial distribution systems in south of Kerman. In this approach a multiple objective planning framework is used to evaluate the impact of DG placement and sizing for an optimal development of the distribution system. In this study، the optimum sizes and locations of DG units are found by considering the power losses and voltage profile as variables into the objective function. The optimization process is done using the link between the Digsilent and Matlab. The results obtained show the improvement of the system in the presence of DGs.
