The primary goal of integrating alternative energy systems such as solar and wind turbines into the power grid using power electronic devices is to meet the growing energy demands. Connecting inverters in parallel effectively enhance power capacity, reliability, and overall system efficiency. However, an uneven power distribution among the inverters is a significant limitation in these parallel connected inverters (PCI). This study focuses on a distributed generation (DG) unit comprising a solar photovoltaic system (SPV) and a battery energy storage system (BESS) connected to voltage source inverters (VSI) 1 and 2. The proposed approach aims to achieve uniform load/power distribution among the inverters with power management, maintaining a constant DC link voltage despite variations in solar irradiation and temperature. Additionally, the strategy targets the reduction of total harmonic distortion (THD) in the load current.

In modern society, the demand for electricity is ever-growing, making the minimization of power losses in distribution systems paramount. One significant aspect contributing to these losses is the strategic placement of capacitors within the distribution network. Efficient capacitor placement not only reduces power losses but also enhances the overall performance and reliability of the system. In today's world, where electricity is indispensable, minimizing power losses in the distribution system holds significant importance. This research introduces the Golden Jack Optimization (GJO) algorithm as a novel approach to address the challenge of capacitor placement in distribution systems. GJO, inspired by the foraging behavior of jackals, exhibits unique characteristics such as adaptability and efficiency in finding optimal solutions this paper proposes an innovative algorithm specifically designed for this purpose.
