摘要：Distribution network is an integral part of power system and it acts as the interface withconsumer load points. The network incurs significant amount of losses in the electrical system.Loss minimization remains one of the prime objectives in distribution network optimization. Thispaper proposes an application of L-SHADE algorithm to simultaneously size and place bothdistributed generators (DGs) and shunt capacitors (SCs) in distribution network to reducesystem real power loss. SHADE is the success history based parameter adaptation technique ofdifferential evolution (DE). L-SHADE improves the performance of SHADE by linearlyreducing the population size in successive generations. The algorithm is applied to minimizeloss in standard IEEE 33-bus radial distribution network (RDN) and the simulation results arecompared with some recent studies on the topic.
