Power loss minimization incorporating distributed generator in distribution system using Supervised Big Bang Big Crunch Method

Abstract — Due to the vast expansion of electricity market the importance of distributed generators for loss minimization has been increased. The power which is generated should reach the consumers with minimum losses. But this is not happening there comes the issue of losses. It is important to reduce the losses. Installation of distributed generator at desired position can reduce power loss. This project implements, a method for the installation of distributed generators at suitable location which minimizes power losses by using Supervised Big Bang-Big Crunch method. An algorithm is proposed which deals with the optimization problems. The platform used is MATLAB@2009b and tested on 12 and 33bus
