Abstract
Recently, Distributed Generation (DG) is increasing adopted in the distribution systems because of its high penetration levels and role on the voltage stability. In this paper, PSO with parallel mutation namely Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization (PPSO) is proposed to maximize system loadability by optimally placing and sizing of DG units in a radial distribution system The proposed method is to overcome the drawback of Particle swarm Optimization (PSO), which works with less number of iterations, but as the iterations increases, there is a possibility of getting trapped in local optima. The efficiency of proposed method is evaluated using IEEE 33 bus and IEEE 69 bus radial distribution test systems. The results show the integrity and effectiveness of the proposed method.
Keywords: DG; Voltage stability; PSO; PPSO; RDS;
1. Introduction
Distributed Generation, which is placed in distribution systems, has the ability to meet out the demand of growing energy markets. DG is mainly preferred because of its capability to improve maximum loadability, voltage profile and stability [1-5]. To achieve maximum technical and economic benefits, optimum location must be determined. Optimal location has been carried out by using both conventional as well as evolutionary algorithm. Conventional algorithms [6] including numerical method [7], analytical methods [8] and evolutionary algorithms such as bacterial foraging optimization [9], Particle Swarm Optimization [10], Imperialist competition algorithm [11] have been applied to the optimization problem of DG units. The hybrid genetic algorithm have developed for multi-objective location and sizing of DG [12]. To reduce cost, power loss and emission, a study has developed based on hybrid modified shuffled frog algorithm and differential evolutionary algorithm [13]. The result shows that the combined method has a higher probability of finding the optimal solution. However different strategies for installing multiple DGs are not considered. To optimally solve the allocation problem of DG, Artificial Bee Colony algorithm has also been presented [14, 15]. Multiple wind turbines are connected to distribution network using genetic algorithm [16, 17]. Different types of renewable DGs are investigated using modified honey bee mating algorithm [18]. Investigation on impact of loadability in distribution system is proposed [19, 20]. Weakest bus is identified as an optimum location for DG placement based on Continuation Power Flow (CPF) method [21]. Maximum loading up to the voltage constraint for optimal placement of DG is also considered [22]. The study [23] has concluded that the maximum loadability of distribution system has been limited by voltage limit rather than the thermal limit. Overall voltage profile is thus improved by improving maximum loadability. Due to increased loading power systems are heavily stressed which results in voltage stability problem. Several methods have been proposed to calculate maximum loadability limit. To maximize savings, PSO approach has been used to optimally determine the location of capacitors [24]. The optimal size and sites of DGs and capacitor combination are determined by Artificial Bee Colony algorithm [25]. _____________

considering maximum loadability and minimum power losses. In addition, Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization takes the advantage of reduced computation time compared to PSO technique. The proposed algorithm will allocate different part of the task to multiple processors and each processor will execute different part of the program. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is tested in IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus radial distribution systems. The results obtained by proposed algorithm show that the proposed algorithm is outperformed by other evolutionary optimization methods. This paper is organised as follows: In section 2, the need for DG on voltage stability is discussed. Section 3, will briefly discuss about the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. In section 4, the proposed PPSO algorithm is presented. Section 5, presents the problem formulation. Discussion about PSO algorithm on 33-bus and 69-bus system is in section 6. In section 7, proposed PPSO algorithm is used to test the system.

3. Overview of Particle Swarm Optimization PSO is an optimization technique based on the movement of swarms. It was developed by James Kennedy and Russell Eberhart. Each particle keeps track of its position in the solution space which is associated with best solution that is achieved so far by that particle. The value is called as personal best, pbest. Another best value is tracked by PSO is the best value obtained so far by any particle in the neighbourhood of that particle. This value is called gbest. Velocity of particle i at time k+1 is given by Eqn.4

The performance of the PSO is greatly affected by its parameter values. In this case, the selection of the PSO parameters follows the strategy of considering different values for each particular parameter and evaluating its effect on the PSO performance. Each particle fitness value has to be evaluated using a power flow solution at each iteration; the number of particles must be small to reduce the particles are chosen as an appropriate population sizes. 3.2 Inertia weight The inertia weight is linearly decreased. The purpose is to improve the speed of convergence of the results by reducing the inertia weight from an initial value of 0.9 to 0.1 in even steps over the maximum number of iterations.

Parallel processing is concerned with producing the same results using multiple processors with the goal of reducing the running time. The two basic parallel processing methods are pipeline processing and data parallelism. The principle of pipeline processing is to separate the problem into a cascade of tasks where each of the tasks is executed by an individual processor.

Data parallelism is an alternative approach which involves distributing the data to be processed amongst all processors which then executes the same procedure on each subset of the data. Data parallelism has been applied fairly widely including to genetic algorithms.

The performance of the PPSO is also highly dependent on the level of correlation between parameters and the nature of the communication strategy. Three communication strategies have been developed for parallel particle swarm optimization algorithm. The firobservation that if the parameters are independent or are only loosely correlated, then the better particles may get good results quite quickly. Thus multiple copies of the best particles imutated particles migrate and replace the worst particles in the other groups for every R1 iterations.
However, if the parameters of the solution are loosely correlated the better particles in each group may not get optimum results particularly quickly. In this case, a second communication strategy may be applied as depicted in Fig 5. This strategy is based on selfits neighbour groups to replace some of the more poorly performing particles for R2 iterations.an associated position vector xi (t) and velocity vector vupdate of each particle should be done by taking into account coordinates personal best and global best. This is done by calculating the signed distance between these coordinates and the current posIteration ‘t’ and integrating these computations into the calculation of the updated velocity vector. The velocity of particle ‘i’ at iteration‘t’ is determined by taking into account the previous velocity of the particle ‘i’, vi (t − 1) weighed by a inertia factor w (t). The current position of the particle, weighed by R1 , a random value within the range (0, 1) generated by a uniform distribution at each iteration, and by C1 , a positive valued constant named the cognitive acceleration constant, with a suggested value of 2.0.

The performance of the PPSO is also highly dependent on the level of correlation between parameters and the
nature of the communication strategy. Three communication strategies have been developed for parallel particle swarm optimization algorithm. The first communication strategy shown in Fig. 4 is designed based on the observation that if the parameters are independent or are only loosely correlated, then the better particles may get good results quite quickly. Thus multiple copies of the best particles in each group are mutated and those mutated particles migrate and replace the worst particles in the other groups for every R1 iterations.

However, they can perform poorly if applied in the wrong situation. In the cases where the correlation property is unknown, a hybrid communication strategy can be applied. The hybrid communication strategy separates the groups into two subgroups with the first subgroup applying the first communication strategy for R1 iterations and all groups applying the second communication strategy for R2 iterations.

Parallel mutation uses multiple processors to yield the same results but with reduced run time. Pipeline processing and data parallelism are the two basic methods used for parallel processing. Pipeline processing is aimed to segregate the problem into a series of tasks each task is evaluated by an individual processor. The main disadvantage of this method is that a processor can proceed only if the previous processor has completed its work. Data parallelism overcomes the disadvantage of pipeline processing. In this work, data parallelism is deployed for creating a parallel mutation PSO (PPSO) algorithm. 5.

From Table 5, the following results are observed for base case of 69-bus system, the active and reactive power losses were found to be 224.9521 KW and 102.3115 KW. When DG units are included both active and reactive power losses are reduced. Maximum loadability can also be improved with number of DG unit’s placement. The variation of real power losses with optimal DG unit placement is as shown in Fig. 12.

8. Conclusion This paper has presented an effective new approach for optimal placement of DG with Particle Swarm Optimization involving Parallel mutation. The DG placement and sizing are based on maximization of loadability and to minimize active and reactive power losses. PPSO will help in getting the best result considering the objective function. The proposed technique is applied on 33-bus and 69-bus radial distribution system and it was found that PPSO technique works better than simple PSO technique.
