An Improved Analysis of Distributed Resource Access Location and Capacity on Voltage Stability of Distribution Networks in Smart Grid

Abstract

Concerns about how Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) may affect distribution network voltage stability have been brought up by the widespread usage of DERs in the elegant Grid. A Smart Grid connects a range of distributed energy resources (DERs) to the distribution network, including electric cars, wind turbines, and solar panels. This connection can alter the working conditions of the network. These changes can lead to voltage stability problems, which can affect the overall efficiency and reliability of the Smart Grid. Thus, there is a need for an improved analysis of the effects of Distributed Resource Access Location and Capacity (DRALC) on voltage strength in distribution networks. Here, we propose an improved analysis of the impact of DRALC on voltage stability in distribution networks in the Smart Grid. Our analysis considers the location and capacity of DERs and their effect on voltage stability using a combination of analytical and simulation methods. We first develop a mathematical model to represent the distribution network, which includes the DERs as voltage sources. Next, we use the voltage stability index and load flow analysis to evaluate the voltage stability of the network under different DRALC scenarios. Finally, we validate our analysis by performing simulations on a real-world distribution network.
