Abstract

The distribution networks of African cities are for the most part in degradation of the required quality due to the exponential evolution of the loads due to demography and industry. In this paper, a hybrid approach based on an analytic-metaheuristic method called (BVSI-GA) developed in the MATLAB environment was used to dimension and position in an ultra-optimal way a DSTATACOM in a quasi-disaster network of Maradi in Niger. Indeed, the positioning of a DSTATCOM with a power of 1840 kVAr at node 40 in this 123-bus distribution network has contributed to reduce the losses in this network by 19.08% with a voltage profile improvement of 2.44%. On the other hand, the exploration of a multiple positioning in order to better secure and make this 123-node network more reliable in case of failure of any of the multiple DSTATACOMs contributed to reducing losses by 25.76%, i.e., a performance improvement of 6.68% compared to the mono-DSTATACOM. As for the tension profile in this case was improved by 2.78% compared to the initial case and by 0.34% to the mono positioning case. The method used in this study is accessible to operators and is effective in predicting and performing distribution networks in African countries, which are nowadays confronted with various contingencies that must be controlled within the limits of tolerable time.
