“…The results were analyzed, and there has been an improvement in the voltage profile and reduced total real power loss. In Arouna et al (2019), SVC and PV placement were done using NGSA-II. The multi-objectives had been set to reduce the installation cost of SVC and PV and minimize the power loss.…”

Renewable energy is crucial for reducing emissions and meeting future energy demands. However, due to concerns regarding intermittent supply, integrating RE into a multi-microgrid system might pose various power system problems, for instance, unstable electrical power output. As a result, increased load reactive power demands result in voltage losses during peak load demand. Therefore, it can be minimized by utilizing Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices in electrical networks, which are designed to strengthen the stability and control of power transfer and act as a controller for the AC transmission specification, which also provides speed and flexibility for certain applications. By identifying the need to implement solutions that can sustain the electric power quality of a microgrid, this paper presents a review of various method approaches which could be used to evaluate the impact of integrating the multi-microgrid systems with FACTS devices for voltage profile improvement and real power loss reduction in power system. In this paper, a comprehensive study is carried out for optimum multi-microgrid placement, considering the minimization of power losses, enhancement of voltage stability, and improvement of the voltage profile. An attempt has been made to summarize the existing approaches and present a detailed discussion that can help the energy planners decide which objective and planning factors need more attention for optimum locations and capacity for multi-microgrid and FACTS devices.

“…It is combined with other schemes such as CB [25]. This scheme represents the SVC, which is one of the most promising solutions that can decrease power losses, improve voltage profile, enhance power factor, and reduce harmonic distortion resulting from non-linear loads [26]. The SVCs can create balance in case of continuous changes in distribution systems since they are capable of adapt to the highly varying profile of the loads [27].…”

Power system operators and planners have progressively shown an interest in maximizing distribution automation technologies. The automated distribution systems (ADS) provide the capability of efficient and reliable control which require an optimal operation strategy to control the status of the line switches and also dispatch the controllable devices. Therefore, this paper introduces an efficient and robust technique based on Jellyfish Search Algorithm (JFSA) for optimal Volt/VAr coordination in ADSs based on joint distribution system reconfiguration (DSR), distributed generation units (DGs) integration and Distribution static VAr compensators (SVCs) operation. The suggested technique is used for the dynamic operation of ADS in order to minimize losses and reduce emissions when considering regular daily loading conditions. The 33-bus and 69-bus delivery DSs have been subjected to a variety of scenarios. These situations are mostly concerned with achieving optimum distribution system operation and control, as well as validating the proposed methodology. Despite the problem's complexity, the proposed technique JFSA is shown to be the best solution in all of the cases considered. Furthermore, a comparison of the proposed JFSA with other similar approaches demonstrates its usefulness as a method to be used in modern ADS control centers.

“…This arrangement signifies the DSVC, which can be considered as the most talented solutions to gain different features such as reducing the power losses, enhancing voltage shape, and improving the power factor. Also, this arrangement can decrease the harmonic distortion that comes from nonlinear loads 22 . In addition, the DSVCs have the ability to adapt to the extreme variation of the loads' shape so they can produce the balance in case of incessant variation of the distribution networks 23 .…”

Summary Recently, power system planners and operators are of interest to maximize distribution automation investments. Optimal operation of control centers of fully automated distribution systems enables it to control all switches as well as dispatching connected controllable apparatuses. Most previously enhanced distribution systems, which include additional enhancement apparatuses, such as distribution static VAr compensators, capacitor banks, and distributed generators, cannot take advantage of the features of these apparatuses because there is no efficient and reliable control. Accordingly, this article presents a robust and efficient technique using Manta ray foraging optimization algorithm (MRFOA) for optimal coordination and control of such apparatuses as well as distribution network reconfiguration simultaneously. The proposed procedure is employed for the dynamic operation of automated distribution systems, considering daily load variations, for losses minimization and emissions reduction with diverse cases of both the 33‐bus and 69‐bus distribution test systems. To manifest, these cases are developed to validate the proposed technique and to achieve optimum control and operation of the distribution systems. Despite the complexity of this problem, the proposed technique can achieve the optimal solution for the various considered cases. As well, the comparative assessment of the proposed MRFOA with relevant techniques demonstrates its effectiveness as an effective tool used in the control centers of modern automated distribution systems. One of the most complex challenges to distribution systems operators in the practical daily load variations is the control and optimal operation of the associated dispatchable enhancement apparatuses such as DGs and DSVCs. The DNR makes the utilization and control of such aforementioned enhancement apparatuses more feasible for distribution systems, but this is in return for increasing the complexity of the problem. Significant technical and environmental benefits have been achieved. Great power losses reduction (about 80%) and voltage enhancement are achieved using the MRFOA. In addition, the emission levels are kept at the lowest levels.
