Abstract
In this paper, the authors propose a methodology to identify the key locations to install PV-distributed generators and also, the optimal amount of PV capacity required to maintain a steady voltage profile and voltage stability. The optimal amount of PV required to better the system performance and to improve the battery life. And this was obtained via the Firefly algorithm and the locations where PV installation results in maximum benefit are obtained through the voltage stability index. The methodology is tested on two test systems, i.e. IEEE 28 and 85-bus systems, the results show that the technique being proposed effectively identifies the critical locations and optimizes the required PV capacity.
