Distributed Generation, Distribution Load Flow, DG Size and Location, System Losses, Voltage ProfileAbstract
Distributed generation (DG) is a rapidly growing technology,
which helps in proper planning for expansion of the electrical networks
in order to face the load growth and to supply the consumers properly.
In this article, computationally efficient & numerically robust distribution flow equations for the power flow solution of distribution system
with distributed generation is presented. The effects of distributed
generation on the system voltage profile and losses have been analyzed
by using different sizes and locations of DG. The results show that the
voltage profile is improved and losses are reduced, when a DG of proper
size is incorporated at proper location in the system. The methodology
is applied to IEEE-13 node test feeder system.
