Stability Issues

Background: Since the distribution networks are passive until Distributed Generation (DG) is not being installed into them, the stability issues occur in the distribution system after the integration of DG. Methods: In order to assure the simplicity during the calculations, many approximations have been proposed for finding the system’s parameters i.e. Voltage, active and reactive powers and load angle, more efficiently and accurately. This research presents an algorithm for finding the Norton’s equivalent model of distribution system with DG, considering from receiving end. Norton’s model of distribution system can be determined either from its complete configuration or through an algorithm using system’s voltage and current profiles. The algorithm involves the determination of derivative of apparent power against the current (dS/dIL) of the system. Results: This work also verifies the accuracy of proposed algorithm according to the relative variations in the phase angle of system’s impedance. This research also considers the varying states of distribution system due to switching in and out of DG and therefore Norton’s model needs to be updated accordingly. Conclusion: The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is verified through MATLAB simulation results under two scenarios, (i) normal condition and (ii) faulty condition. During normal condition, the stability factor near to 1 and change in dS/dIL was near to 0 while during fault condition, the stability factor was higher than 1 and the value of dS/dIL was away from 0.

Neurofuzzy Systems

Systems of distributed generation have shown to be a remarkable alternative to a rational use of energy. Nevertheless, the proper functioning of them still manifests a range of challenges, including both the adequate energy dispatch depending on the variability of consumption and the interaction between generators. This paper describes the implementation of an adaptive neurofuzzy system for voltage control, regarding the changes observed in the consumption within the distribution system. The proposed design employs two neurofuzzy systems, one for the plant dynamics identification and the other for control purposes. This focus optimizes the controller using the model achieved through the identification of the plant, whose changes are produced by charge variation; consequently, this process is adaptively performed. The results show the performance of the adaptive neurofuzzy system via statistical analysis.

This paper presents the optimal and sizing of distributed generation (DG) placement in a radial distribution system for loss reduction. The main emphasis of this paper is to identify proper locations for installing DGs in a distribution system to reduce active power loss and improve bus voltages. Nevertheless, proper placement and sizing of DG units are not straightforward to be identified as a number of their positions and capacities need to be determined. It is therefore proposed in this paper to solve a DG placement problem based on a Tabu search algorithm. The objective function of the problem is to minimize the system loss subject to power flow constraints, bus voltage limits, pre specified number of DGs, and their allowable total installed capacity, and only one distributed generator for one installation position. The effectiveness of the methodology is demonstrated by a practical sized distribution system consisting of 69 bus and 48 load points. The results show that the optimal DG placement and sizing can be identified to give the minimum power loss while respecting all the constraints.

Transmission And Distribution

In a deregulated electric service environment, an effective electric transmission and distribution networks are vital to the competitive environment of reliable electric service. Power quality (PQ) is an item of steadily increasing concern in power transmission and distribution. The traditional approach to overcoming capacity and quality limitations in power transmission and distribution in many cases is the addition of new transmission and/or generating capacity. This, however, may not be practicable or desirable in the real case, for many of reasons. From technical, economical and environmental points of view, there are two important - and most of the time combined - alternatives for building new transmission or distribution networks to enhance the transmission system capacity, and power quality: the Flexible alternating current transmission devices and controllers, and the distributed generation resources near the load centers. The connection of distributed generation to the distribution grid may influence the stability of the power system, i.e. angle, frequency and voltage stability. It might also have an impact on the protection selectivity, and the frequency and voltage control in the system. This paper presents a low cost FACTS based Dynamic Distribution System Compensator (DDSC) scheme for voltage stabilization and power transfer and quality enhancement of the distribution feeders connected to a dispersed wind generator, using MATLAB/ SimPower System simulation tool.
