Influence of RES sources on the location of distribution points in the MV network

A dynamic increase in the share of renewable energy sources in the power industry may cause various changes related to the optimal functioning of the entire power system. A high concentration of renewable energy sources in the power system may force the need to reconfigure the network in order to ensure optimal work. The article presents the impact of renewable energy sources on the location of MV grid division points. As the function of the objective, the minimization of active power losses in the network was selected. The research was carried out for a dozen or so variants of network operation to determine the magnitude of the impact of these sources on the location of optimal network partition points. The optimization calculations were carried out using the Cuckoo Search algorithm (cuckoo search).
