Multi-objective Planning for Distributed Power Considering Low Carbon Benefits

Abstract

Distributed power can effectively alleviate the problems of environmental pollution and energy shortage. Based on the consideration of the low-carbon benefits of DG, a multi-objective mathematical model with minimal system carbon dioxide emissions, minimum annual network loss cost, and minimal system voltage deviation of the distribution network is established for multi-type DG access location and capacity. This model is solved using a MOPSO algorithm, which gives the planners a scientific decision-making basis. The analysis results show that the DG configuration scheme obtained by this method can effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions, reduce network loss costs, and reduce voltage deviation, which verifies the usefulness of the model and algorithm.
