1.3 Problem Formulation

1.3.1 Objective Functions

The selection of the locations and the proper sizes of the RDGs (biomass and solar PV) and shunt capacitors in the distribution networks depend on the selection of the proper objective functions. Improper placement of the RDGs and shunt capacitors leads to the maloperation of the distribution networks which includes the increment in active power loss, poor voltage profile, and huge installation cost. In this book chapter, the active power loss, voltage deviation, and the effective annual installation cost of RDGs and shunt capacitors are considered as the main objective functions. The multi-objective function is converted to the single objective function by using the weighted sum approach, where the weights for the objective functions are selected based on their preferences. The objective function with the weights is stated in (Equation 1.12).

(a) Power Loss Index (PLI)

PLI is the ratio of the active power losses after and before the placement of RDGs and the shunt capacitors. PLI is defined as in (Equation 1.13).

The images are the active power loss after and before the placement of RDGs and shunt capacitors, respectively, at the time instant t.

The active power loss at any time instant t can be defined as in (Equation 1.14)

where NBr is the total number of branches, Zi is the branch impedance and |Iij| is the magnitude of the branch current, connected between bus-i and bus-j, defined as in (Equation 1.15).

(1.15)

After the RDGs and shunt capacitors connected to the distribution networks, the branch current magnitude |Iij| is modified by (Equation 1.16).

Here, images are the voltage magnitude and the load angle after inserting the DGs and shunt capacitors.

(b) Voltage Deviation Index (VDI)

Improvement in the voltage profile in the distribution network is measured by voltage deviation from the nominal voltage of 1.0 pu. The voltage deviation index is measured as the ratio of the voltage deviations (VDs) after and before the placement of the RDGs and shunt capacitors which are defined for the time instant t as

where VDDG is defined as

(1.18)

(1.19)

Here, images are the voltage of ith bus after and before placement of DG to the distribution network. The value of voltage deviation near zero indicates an improved voltage profile.

Total installation cost includes the cost of the RDGs and the shunt capacitors. Lifetime (LT) of the RDGs and the shunt capacitors are used to obtain the annual installation cost. The ICI is defined as

(1.20)

Here, CostDG(t) is the effective annual installation cost of the DGs and shunt capacitors at time instant t, and can be defined as

(1.21)

and the installation cost, considering the maximum sizes of DGs and shunt capacitors, is defined as

In this book chapter, equal preference is given to each objective function in the weighted sum approach. Therefore, the weights for the three objective functions are images
