Improving of electric network feeding nuclear facility based on multiple types DGs placement

Nuclear Facility (NF), during shutdown and startup, are in the essential need for reliable electric power that should be delivered by electric power grid to NF. Safe operation of NF needs a limited variation in both frequency and voltage.The reduction of power losses, improving voltage profile, and frequency in electric grid connected with NF can be achieved by optimally distributed generators (DGs) placement. This paper presents a mathematical model for multible types of DGs placement in electric grid feeding NF. Also, it proposes artificial intelligence solution methodology for active and reactive power DGs placement problem. The trained Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with Cat Swarm Optimization algorithm (CSO) is used for optimal solution. The optimization technique is tested and validated by using different sizes of electric grid. Test results showed a more reliable and efficient approach compared with other approachs.
