Optimal allocation of photovoltaic plants in electric power distribution networks

In this article, the problem of allocation of photovoltaic generators in a distribution network while losses are minimized considering network operating constraints is formulated and solved. Three formulations are considered. In order to take into account adequately the imbalance of distribution networks, a three-phase approach is considered. To solve the three formulations a stochastic algorithm based on an evolution strategy is used showing good results in minimizing technical losses. The results obtained illustrate the proposals and their practical use.
