Energy Loss Minimization with Parallel Implementation of Marine Predators Algorithm

Abstract

13th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering, ELECO 2021 --25 November 2021 through 27 November 2021 -- --176537 Distribution network (DN) service continuity is one of the significant issues in today's power systems. This paper aims to put a strategy for supplying loads with less discontinuity and affordable energy-consuming. The energy loss in distribution grids causes many problems for the producer and consumer; hence, it needs to be improved to increase supply efficiency accordingly. For this aim a model aiming to minimize power losses by allocating and sizing distributed generators (DGs) is solved using recently developed Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA). Since the proposed method is a time-intensive process due to the vast computations, parallel computation is implemented into MPA to increase computation speed. The proposed formulation and parallel computation are tested for 69-bus radial distribution system. The results are discussed in terms of computational accuracy and solution efficiency. Moreover, the convergence characteristics of MPA are compared with some other heuristic methods. © 2021 Chamber of Turkish Electrical Engineers.
