The Impact

This paper intends to enumerate the impact of distributed generation (DG) on distribution system in terms of active as well as reactive power loss reduction and improved voltage stability. The novelty of the method proposed in this paper is the simple and effective way of sizing and siting of DG in a distribution system by using two-port Z-bus parameters. The validity of the method is verified by comparing the results with already published methods. Comparative study presented has shown that the proposed method leads existing methods in terms of its simplicity, undemanding calculation procedures, and less computational efforts and so does the time. The method is implemented on IEEE 69-bus test radial distribution system and results show significant reduction in distribution power losses with improved voltage profile of the system. Simulation is carried out in MATLAB environment for execution of the proposed algorithm.

Distributed generation system penetration in the existing distribution system is done for minimizing the losses and improving the voltage profile. There are total five types of distributed generation systems exist based on their power delivery like distributed generation system injecting real and reactive power, supplying real power only, supplying reactive power only, absorbing reactive power only , supplying real power and absorbing reactive power. All these five types of distributed generation systems have different penetration effects on the radial distribution system. We get different voltage profiles and power losses for different types of distributed generation systems. The testing of these five types of distributed generation systems will be done on IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system. For computing, the line parameters and power losses of the above testing system the forward-backward sweep load flow method will be applied

Competitive Algorithm

This paper proposes an Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) for optimal multiple distributed generations (DGs) placement and sizing in a distribution system. The objective is to minimize the total real power losses and improve the voltage profile within real and reactive power generation and voltage limits. Three types of DG are considered and the ICA is used to find the better sizes and locations of DGs for maximum real power losses reduction and voltage improvement for given number of DG units in each type. Both integer and continuous variables are considered in ICA, integer variable for locations and continues variable for sizes. The total real power losses and voltage profile evaluation are based on a power flow method for radial distribution system with the representation of DGs. The proposed method has been demonstrated on 33 bus radial distribution system. The efficiency of the ICA in reducing the total power losses and improving voltage is validated by comparing the obtained results with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm.

A Radial Distribution network is important in power system area because of its simple design and reduced cost. Reduction of system losses and improvement of voltage profile is one of the key aspects in power system operation. Distributed generators are beneficial in reducing losses effectively in distribution systems as compared to other methods of loss reduction. Sizing and location of DG sources places an important role in reducing losses in distribution network. Four types of DG are considered in this paper with one DG installed for minimize the total real and reactive power losses. The objective of this methodology is to calculate size and to identify the corresponding optimum location for DG placement for minimizing the total real and reactive power losses and to improve voltage profile   in primary distribution system. It can obtain maximum loss reduction for each of four types of optimally placed DGs. Optimal sizing of Distributed Generation can be calculated using exact loss formula and an efficient approach is used to determine the optimum location for Distributed Generation Placement.  To demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach 36-bus radial distribution system in Belin Substation in Myanmar was tested and validated with different sizes and the result was discussed.

At present the green environment plays a crucial part in fighting against the global warming. The Electric Vehicles which are eco-friendly provides the solution for these environmental issues which promotes low carbon emission. In the present scenario variation of the power flow and voltage profile at specific nodal junctions in a radial distribution system, when Electric Vehicle has been connected as a load is essential This paper shows the potential drop analysis on a distribution system with Electric Vehicle as a load. The results provide the total real power loss, total reactive power loss occurs in the radial test bus system and the voltage magnitude at nodes for an IEEE standard bus system. The Backward/Forward sweep method has been implemented on IEEE test bus radial distribution system. Various types of loads such as residential, commercial, and industrial with Electric Vehicles are considered for testing. The results indicate that a drop in voltage when Electric Vehicles has been integrated into the grid along with other consumers. The programming results has been compared with standard values and found to be satisfactory. Suggestions’ for improving the voltage profile had also included in this paper.

Distributed Generation (DG) is small capacity generating units directly associated to the distributed system. With the penetration of distributed generators nearby the consumer load center support to the distribution system will be enhanced. The Distributed Generation involves both Renewable & sustainable sources of energy to engender power in order to appease the ever increasing energy requirement. Suitable location and capacity of DG units will benefit the achievement of active power system network. The voltage profile and Real power line loss and Reactive power line loss reduction can also be improved with suitable location and allocation of DG. This work proposes a new Simulation method for the placement of fixed Size Diesel Generator in IEEE 12 bus radial distribution system stationed on Voltage stability index and Transmission line losses.
