Abstract
This paper proposes a rapid analytical method to determine the locations and sizes of multiple distributed generations (DGs) inside a distribution network. DGs locations are chosen with the aim of enhancing voltage stability and their sizes are picked so as to minimize system power losses. To evaluate the effect of the DG's nature on the system's performance, the proposed DG allocation method is tested for all DG types and the impact of the combination of different types of DGs is equally investigated, which offers a guide to designing an optimal hybrid network.
Highlights
In traditional structures, electrical energy is transported from power plants to consumers through a hierarchical network dropping from the very high voltage HVB ( >50 kV) to the medium voltage HVA (1 kV < Un
The method consists in the placing and sizing of multiple distributed generations (DGs) units inside a distribution network
DGs are placed to reinforce the areas most affected by voltage instability and sized with the main objective of minimizing power losses
Summary
Electrical energy is transported from power plants to consumers through a hierarchical network dropping from the very high voltage HVB ( >50 kV) to the medium voltage HVA (1 kV < Un
