Abstract
ABSTRACTThe integration of distributed generators (DGs) into the grid is of great importance in improving system reliability. The criterion of minimizing total system cost used previously by many researchers for locating the optimal sites for DGs using optimal power flow (OPF) formulations was considered in this work. Here, three different cost functions are formulated for three kinds of renewable energy source (RES). Three different objectives were considered separately for determining the optimal locations for each kind of RES using the mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) method. Having many alternatives with these three objectives, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to reach a decision over getting the optimal locations for various kinds of RES. The proposed methodology was demonstrated on a 15-node distribution system.
