Heuristic Approach to DG Sizing and Siting in Distribution System for Voltage Drop Reduction
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents the impact of penetration level and power factor of DG on the voltage drop in a distribution system. For this purpose, suitable expressions have been developed to estimate the squared voltage drop reduction caused by the DG. A method is also suggested to determine the optimal location and size of DG. This method requires only base case load flow solution. The proposed method is implemented under MATLAB environment and applied on a 33-bus test distribution system with two different values of DG power factor. The voltage drop reduction by proposed method is compared with that by the repeated load flow method. The comparison shows that the results by proposed method is in close agreement to that of repeated load flow method and both are following similar trends.
