1. Introduction Distributed photovoltaic (PV) installations represent a cornerstone of environmentally friendly power generation, assuming a critical role in propelling initiatives aimed at fostering low-carbon environments.
The comprehensive analysis of the results indicates that, with the aid of demand response, the suggested distribution system planning and operating models optimize the integration of photovoltaic systems by maximizing the hosting capacity while minimizing the network losses and the voltage deviation for the benefits of both utilities and consumers.
Recently, an innovative pathfinder algorithm (PFA) has been developed to identify the best possible locations for incorporating solar-based distributed energy resources (DERs) in a radial distribution system (RDS) . This algorithm leverages a backtracking search optimization technique to reduce active power losses .
The process begins by establishing distinct planning models for distributed PVs and distribution network systems, followed by the application of the search algorithm to align these models and generate relevant Pareto datasets and multi-objective positioning criteria.
In juxtaposition to conventional diesel generators and thermal power units, the capacity of distributed PV systems, when subjected to analogous renewable energy consumption scenarios, exhibits a positive correlation with the caliber of electrical energy within the power network.
