The Siting and Sizing Problem of Distributed Generation Based on a Novel Fractional Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

Large-scale distributed generation grid-connection brings huge economic and environmental benefits, but also threatens the stability of the grid. To make the grid consume a higher proportion of distributed generation, it is necessary to optimize the location and capacity of the distributed generation connected to the grid. Firstly, the uncertainty analysis model of wind speed, illumination intensity, and load of grid is established. Secondly, a distributed generation location and capacity planning model with the lowest annual comprehensive cost as the objective function is constructed. Then, a novel fractional particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed, and the performance of the algorithm on complex optimization problems is tested. Finally, the simulation results of the IEEE 33-bus system example verify the rationality of the established model and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
