Abstract

This paper presents an optimization approach to determine the optimal location for installing a new generator in which the technical, economic and environmental aspects are all taken into consideration. The location that yields the minimum fuel costs, emission and system loss is considered as the optimal generation location. The formulated objective function and its constraints compose an optimization problem, which is solved using particle swarm optimization (PSO). The proposed PSO-based optimization approach is tested on IEEE 14-bus system and IEEE 30-bus system to illustrate the potential of the new approach. The simulation results have shown that the proposed approach is indeed capable of determining the optimal generation location that can save much overall fuel cost as well as reduce the total emissions of generators and losses in the network.
