Abstract: Recently, implementation of Battery Energy Storage (BES) with photovoltaic (PV) array in distribution networks is becoming very popular in overall the world. Integrating PV alone in distribution networks generates variable output power during 24-hours as it depends on variable natural source. PV can be able to generate constant output power during 24-hours by installing BES with it. Therefore, this paper presents a new application of a recent metaheuristic algorithm, called Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA), to determine the best size, and location of photovoltaic alone or with battery energy storage in the radial distribution system (RDS). This algorithm is modeled from the behavior of SMA in nature. During the optimization process, the total active power loss during 24-hours is used as an objective function considering the equality and inequality constraints. In addition, the presented function is based on the probabilistic for PV output and different types of system load. The candidate buses for integrating PV and BES in the distribution network are determined by the real power loss sensitivity factor (PLSF). IEEE 69-bus RDS with different types of loads is used as a test system. The effectiveness of SMA is validated by comparing its results with those obtained by other well-known optimization algorithms.

Most of electrical energy around the world are coming from fossil fuel to meet the required electrical demand [1]. The utilization of fossil fuels harms the environment and lead to global warming and air pollution. Also, the electrical loads are increasing gradually due to world population growth and technology development that led to increasing in system power losses. These losses are occurred with percent 70% in the secondary and primary distribution system and with percent 30% in sub transmission and transmission lines [2]. Therefore, integrating renewable sources (RSs) in distribution networks is the best solution for decreasing the system power loss and support power to the load with clean and sustainable energy compared to fossil fuel [3]. Most types of RSs that are used in power system are hydropower, biomass, photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine [4].
PV converts solar energy into electrical energy in a silent way, so installing PV in distribution system has increased around the world [3]. PV alone is non-dispatchable source as PV output depends on variable source (sun) [5,6]. Therefore, BES should be inserted with PV to convert PV into dispatchable source [7]. As long as PV output is low or zero during 24-hours, BES is capable of supplying active power to the system [8]. Therefore, installing PV with BES in RDS decreases the system losses, increases the system capacity, and improves the system voltage. The best locations (buses) up to fifty percent of system buses for integration PV with BES in RDS are obtained using RLSF. The presented problem formulation is the real losses of the system as single objective function.
SMA can be classified as one of recent metaheuristic algorithms that is created from the behaviors of slime moulds in nature [9]. In SMA, there are weights are used to model the negative and positive feedback of slime mould when searching for food. SMA has an efficient exploration and exploitation phases to determine the best solution with minimum search agent. SMA has a feedback behavior which enhances the characteristic of SMA to avoid the local solutions and go to the global results so far. SMA is used to obtain the optimal allocation of PV with BES in RDS. Metaheuristic algorithms are more popular because of their effectively in solving difficult problems. Many types of metaheuristic algorithms are applied to determine the optimal planning of PV with BES in RDS such as Genetic algorithm (GA) which is used to determine the sizing of BES with sizeable PV in RDS to minimize the system power loss [10], Linear programming (LP) is used to determine the energy storage dispatch for PV with BES connected in a grid [11], whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for optimal planning of BES in RDS for loss reduction has been presented in [12], grey wolf optimizer algorithm (GWO) for optimal allocation of BES in RDS to minimize the total annual cost of the system has been presented in [13], Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) for optimal placement and sizing of PV and electric vehicle in RDS for loss minimization has been presented in [14].
The main contributions of this work can be summarized in the following points:
– A new application of a recent metaheuristic algorithm called Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA) is proposed to determine the best locations and sizes of PV and BES, considering the probabilistic of PV generation and different types of system load.
– The optimal allocations of PV and BES are obtained with the aim of achieving the maximum reduction in the total active power losses.
– The obtained results show that integration of PV and BES in RDS reduces the system power loss, enhances the system voltage, and increases the system capacity.
– The simulation results also prove that integration of PV with BES gives better results than integration of PV alone in RDS.

In forward direction, the voltage magnitude of bus (u+1) is obtained as follows:
here, Vu and Vu+1 represent the voltage values at bus (u) and bus (u+1), respectively.
System power flows will be changed as PV with BES will inject active power to the distribution system. Consequently, system power flow equations is updated as shown in Eqs. (4) and (5).

3 Modeling Uncertainty for Load and PV with BES
3.1 Modeling Uncertainty for Load
The uncertainties of system loads can be modeled as different load patterns (residential, industrial and commercial loads) during 24-hours daily, as shown in Fig. 2 [18]. This model is based on a time-varying during 24-hours and voltage-dependent load [19]. Therefore, the system load modeling can be represented by Eqs. (14) and (15).
where, QB and PB represent the reactive and active power injections at bus (B), QL, B and PL, B represent the reactive and active loads at bus (B), nac is the active load voltage exponent that equal to 0.18, 1.51 and 0.92 for industrial, commercial and residential load modeling, respectively [19].

3.2 Modeling Uncertainty for PV Output
PV generates electricity from solar irradiance during 24-hours. From Fig. 3, the modeling uncertainty for PV output is created by PDF [20]. The standard deviation and mean of solar radiation are given by [21].
where, FB(r) represents the the function of Beta distribution for solar radiation (r).
Figure 3: Modeling uncertainty for PV output during 24-hours daily
The output of PV depends on the solar irradiance and air temperature, so the specification of PV panel are given by [21]. The maximum power of PV can be determined by Eq. (18).
where, Kvo and Kcu are the voltage and current temperature coefficient in voltage per Celsius and ampere per Celsius, respectively. Tamb and Tcell are the air and cell temperature in Celsius, respectively. n and no are the total number of PV modules and the nominal temperature of cell in Celsius, respectively. Isc and Vop and are the short circuit current and the open-circuit voltage, respectively.
3.3 Battery Energy Storage Modeling
PV alone can be considered as non-dispatchable source, so BES is installed with PV to convert PV into a dispatchable source. BES is charged when PV output is more than the required output power and is discharged when PV output is zero during night or less than the required output power. The energy that is stored in BES at bus (B) during 24-hours can be determined by Eqs. (23) and (24) [20].
where,
The locations and sizes of PV with BES are obtained by the presented algorithm. The installation bus of BES is identical to the bus of PV. The discharging/charging energies of BES during a time (h) is determined by Eqs. (26) and (27) [21].
The combined energy of PV with BES E(PV+BES), u and the energy of PV EPV, u at bus (u) can be evaluated as follows:
where,
Consequently, Eq. (29) can be updated as follows:
where, n represents the PV module unit.
The high value of PV can be evaluated by Eq. (34).
where,
The BES energy is determined by Eq. (35).
4 Real Power Loss Sensitivity Factor (PLSF)
PLSF measures the sensitivity of all system buses to the active power injection and its effects on the active power loss. Therefore, this paper determines the best buses for installing PV with BES up to 50% of system buses by Eq. (36) [22]. The best bus are 57, 58, 7, 6, 61, 60, 10, 59, 55, 56, 12, 13, 14, 54, 15, 53, 8, 64, 49, 11, 9, 17, 65, 16, 5, 48, 21, 19, 41, 63, 68, 34, 20 and 62 as shown in Fig. 4.
Figure 4: PLSF for IEEE 69-bus RDS
SMA can be classified as one of recent metaheuristic algorithms that is created from the behaviors of slime moulds in nature [9]. Slime mould searches for quality food through the odor in the air. The behavior mechanism of slime mould is based on contraction mode. Slime mould consists of venous tissues and the width of vein will be increased as long as this vein is closer to the higher concentration of quality food. When a vein reaches to the higher concentration of food, the biological oscillator generates waves to change the cytoplasmic flow to this vein and its width will be increased. The steps of SMA for determining the best position and size of PV with BES considering uncertainty in RDS is explained in the following steps.
Step 1 : Read system data, number of search agents (N) and maximum iteration (T).
Step 2 : Generate initial population of slime mould between the lower (lo) and upper (up) controlled variables by Eq. (37).
where, Q is the number of control variables (dimensions) and r and represents a random value between value of 0 and 1.
Step 3 : the produced population represents the slime mould position that can be formulated as follows:
where, J is the position of slime mould.
Step 4 : Evaluate the fitness for all locations of slime mould in all swarms and obtain the best and worst fitness and the best position of slime mould.
Step 5 : Calculate the weight (w) of each position of slime mould as follows:
where, S(i) is the fitness each position of slime mould for search agents and condition refer to that S(i) ranks first half of search agents
Step 6 : Update the position of slime mould as follows:
where JA and JB are the position of slime mould that are selected randomly from the search agents. DF is the best fitness and z is a parameter that equal to 0.03. e and E represent the current iteration and the final iteration, respectively vb represents a value which oscillates between (-a) and (a) and reaches to zero at the maximum iteration. vc is a value that oscillates between ( −1) and (1) and reaches to zero at the maximum iteration.
Step 7 : Back to step 4 until the final iteration is reached.
Step 8 : Obtain the best location of slime mould (sizes and positions of PV alone or with BES).

This paper has proposed a new application of Slime Mould Algorithm to deetermine the optimal allocation of PV alone or with BES considering uncertainty in distribution network. The simulation results proved that SMA has an effective feedback to avoid the local solution and go to the global solution so far. BES is installed with PV to convert PV from non-dispatchable source into dispatchable source. Therefore, BES is used to inject energy to the grid when PV output is low or during the night. The total active power loss during 24-hours is used as single objective function under uncertainty for PV output and system load. The system load is modeled for three types of load that can be defined as residential, industrial and commercial loads. PLSF is used to determine the best buses for installing PV and BES in RDS. From obtained results, the reduction in real power loss by installing one, two and three PV alone in RDS are 18.6%, 20.7% and 21.1%, respectively. Also, the reduction in real power loss by installing one, two and three PVwith BES in RDS are 61.9%, 67.1% and 68.1%, respectively. From simulation results, installing multiple PV alone or with BES achieves superiorsolutions than installing one PV alone or with BES in RDS. Also, integration of PV with BES achieves superior solutions than installing PV alone in distribution network. Integration of PV and BES reduces the system power loss, increases the system capacity and enhances the system voltage.
