Positioning Capacitors and Distributed Gen Units for Multi-Objective Optimization

The placement of distributed generation (DG), capacitors, and ULTC transformer tap settings can all be employed separately to lower loss, enhance the voltage profile, and raise the distribution network's available transfer capability (ATC). These devices will be more effective if they are placed and set simultaneously. This paper uses a multi-objective function to implement this strategy. Reducing loss, improving voltage, and raising ATC make up the objective function. The objective function is optimized through the application of Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach. The suggested approach is used on the IEEE 41 bus radial distribution network to demonstrate its efficacy. The outcomes demonstrate that this approach improves the objective functions more effectively.
