This study introduces a novel hybrid algorithm
designed to optimize the location and sizing (OLS) of distributed
generation (DG) sources in a distribution system (DS),
considering the impact of reactive load integration. By
combining the Novel Line Stability Index (NLSI) with the
Artificial Rabbit Optimization (ARO) algorithm, the approach
strategically identifies the OLS for photovoltaic (PV) and
battery energy storage systems (BESS) across different seasonal
load scenarios. The main objectives are boosting voltage
stability, refining voltage profiles, and minimizing power losses
(PL). Applied to the IEEE 33-bus DS, the hybrid algorithm
demonstrates remarkable improvements, achieving up to a
95.16% reduction in energy losses and a 99.65% reduction in
voltage deviation. These impressive results underscore the
algorithm's ability to enhance system efficiency significantly
over conventional techniques. Additionally, this study highlights
system behavior under atypical conditions with reactive load
integration, offering a robust and effective solution for
improving DS performance in challenging scenarios |
