In this paper, CONOPT solver, embedded in program GAMS, is proposed for optimal power flow analysis in distribution network with renewable energy sources. CONOPT solver possibilities have been tested on IEEE 33 test system solving a problem o f minimizing active power losses in the network. Locations and sizes o f renewable energy sources were taken form available literature. The results obtained using CONOPT solver have been compared with results obtained by using metaheuristic and hybrid algorithms. It is shown that the CONOPT solver gives better results in terms o f minimum values o f active power losses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
