optimal Determination of the location and capacity of photovoltaic units in microgrid offshore networks utilizing evolutionary algorithms

In order to improve the performance of distribution networks when adding photovoltaic units to this network, optimal location and size for these units should be considered in order to maximize the efficiency. Placement of distributed resource resources is carried out with different goals. In this study, the location and optimal size of photovoltaic units are determined to improve the voltage profile and reduce the losses of distribution network and micro-network. Naval coastal bases will act as a grid, adding scattered sources of production, such as microturbines, wind turbines and photovoltaic units. In the study, three algorithms for genetic algorithm optimization, particle swarm and colonial competition were used on the IEEE 6 bus distribution network. All algorithms and scheduling are done in MATLAB software environment
