Abstract
While enabling prominent growth of renewable-based distributed generation (DG) and matching energy harvesting, nonfirm connection policy requires accompanying active and reactive power dispatch control. Centralized control often implies comprehensive communication infrastructure and notable capital investment. Hence, DG planning models tailored for decentralized management of thermal and voltage constraints are found wanting. This paper presents a DG planning methodology, which successfully incorporates a new decentralized active power curtailment control and also includes decentralized voltage control. It optimizes autonomous control settings for each generator individually, such that the net energy export from the distribution to transmission level, per unit of installed capacity, is maximized. Comparative time series analysis validates the methodology.
