Abstract: | This paper deals with the stochastic placement and sizing of the distribution static compensator in the distribution systems considering uncertainty. The proposed stochastic framework utilises the point estimate method to consider the forecasting uncertainty of the active and reactive loads in the load flow equations. The objective functions to be investigated are total active power losses and the voltage profile simultaneously. In order to reach a proper compromise to satisfy all the objective functions, an interactive fuzzy satisfying approach is employed. Also, since the problem investigated is a type of discrete, nonlinear, multi-objective optimisation problem, a new modified optimisation technique is proposed to escape from the local optima as well as the premature convergence. Finally, the satisfying performance of the proposed method is examined on the 86-bus IEEE distribution system. |
