Abstract

Integration of renewable energy based distributed generation units provide potential benefits to conventional distribution systems. The power injections from renewable DG units located close to the load centers provide an opportunity for system voltage support, reduction in energy losses and reliability improvement. Therefore, the allocation of DG units should be carefully determined with the consideration of different planning incentives. In this paper, a simple method for real power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement which is based on voltage sensitivity index analysis is considered. Power flow analysis is done using the forward-backward sweep method, the placement and sizing of DG in distribution system are determined using optimization.The objective is to improve the reliability indices. The placement and size of DGs are optimized using a Genetic Algorithm. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, the 10 bus distribution feeder is used. The results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
