Abstract


The allocation of distributed generators provides a number of benefits, the main one being the reduction of losses in the power lines. However, even with insertion reaching ever higher levels of penetration, installation costs are still considered quite high. This work presents a multiobjective optimization model that contemplates two objectives - to minimize the active power losses and to reduce the installation, operation and maintenance costs. NSGA-II was used as a search tool to solve the proposed model. The simulations were performed from MATPOWER on four versions of the 69-bus system. The max-min composition was used for trade-off and final choice at the Pareto frontier obtained.
