Title A name given to the resource Chernobyl Disaster Optimizer-Based Optimal Integration of Hybrid Photovoltaic Systems and Network Reconfiguration for Reliable and Quality Power Supply to Nuclear Research Reactors Subject The topic of the resource Chernobyl disaster optimizer; D-STATCOM; energy storage system; network reconfiguration; nuclear research reactors; performance; photovoltaic systems; reliability; resilience Description An account of the resource In view of the complexity and importance of nuclear research reactor (NRR) installations, it is imperative to uphold high standards of reliability and quality in the electricity being supplied to them. In this paper, the performance of low-voltage (LV) distribution feeders integrated with NRRs is improved in terms of reduced distribution loss, improved voltage profile, and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by determining the optimal location and size of photovoltaic (PV) systems. In the second stage, the power quality of the feeder is optimized by reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) by optimally allocating D-STATCOM units. In the third and fourth stages, the reliability and resilience aspects of the feeder are optimized using optimal network reconfiguration (ONR) and by integrating an energy storage system (ESS). To solve the non-linear complex optimization problems at all these stages, an efficient meta-heuristic Chernobyl disaster optimizer (CDO) is proposed. Simulations are performed on a modified IEEE 33-bus feeder considering the non-linear characteristics of NRRs, variability of the feeder loading profile, and PV variability. The study reveals that the proposed methodology can significantly improve the service requirements of NRRs for attaining sustainable research activities. 2024 by the authors.
