Abstract

This paper describes the impact of the mode selection in Distributed Generation (DG) has in order to reduce the total power losses in the distribution system when coordination between the DG and capacitor is done simultaneously There are two modes available for the DG to operate which are the Power-Reactive Power (PQ) and Power-Voltage (PV) modes. The coordination between the DG and capacitor is a crucial task that needs to be done during the initial planning stage. Any error in identifying the power output and the location of the DG as well as the size and the location of the capacitor can increase the losses in distribution system. In this paper, some modifications were made on Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) by combining several steps on Artificial Immune System (AIS) will be used. Several cases studies are carried out to see the impact of mode selection on 33-bus distribution system by using MATLAB programming.
