Optimal Deployment of Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator on 15 Bus Lafia Feeder, Using Artificial Bee Colony.
Abstract
To ensure that the radial distribution system operates as efficiently as possible, the distribution static synchronous compensator DSTATCOM must be properly deployed. This study use Artificial Bee Colony ABC to discover the optimal position and size for a Distribution STATCOM in order to reduce total line loss while improving voltage quality within acceptable bounds. ABC was tried on fifteen buses in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The ABC's performance was tested with and without DSTATCOM installed. MATLAB was used to develop and simulate the radial distribution system (RDS). According to the IEEE 33 Bus data, reactive power loss decreased by 26.7% from 134.99kVar to 98.93kVar, while real power loss decreased by 26.6% from 201.77kw to 148.05kW. The number of bus voltage violations dropped from 21 to 13, and the Lafia feeder's true power loss fell by 63.9%, from 171.65kw to 61.87kw. The reactive power loss decreased by 64.01%, from 195.47 to 70.35 kvar. There was only one bus voltage violation, not twelve. The study's findings showed that ABC outperformed the other findings in the literature. The DSTATCOM increased calculation speed, active power loss, and voltage profile. ABC improved the voltage profile and reduced active and reactive power loss in the industry-standard IEEE 33-bus and 15-bus Lafia RDS.
