Enhancement of voltage profile and loss minimization in distribution systems using optimal placement and sizing of power system modeled dgs

Abstract EN

Distributed Generations (DGs) integration in distribution system is one of the options which give benefits like loss minimization, peak shaving, over load relieving and improved reliability.

This paper presents a method for optimal placement and size of the DGs considering system loss minimization and voltage profile improvement as objective functions.

The solar and wind systems are modeled as constant power factor model and variable reactive power model respectively.

This work is tested on 37-bus and 69-bus Distribution Systems.

The simulation technique based on genetic algorithm is studied.

For all cases current injection based distribution load flow method is used.
