Abstract
ABSTRACT This article proposes a multiyear distributed generation (DG) investment planning model with the coordination of demand response for making the decision of investment under uncertainty. The aim is to reduce the net present value related to the energy purchasing cost from the grid, investment cost including operation, and maintenance cost, emission penalty cost and energy losses cost. In this article, two investment planning models are developed with a total planning horizon of 20 years: (i) static investment planning model and (ii) dynamic investment planning model. In the static investment, DG is installed in first year, whereas for dynamic investment model, time period of DG installation is considered flexible. The impact of real-time demand response is also analyzed for both cases. The optimal distribution network investment planning problem, which includes multiple DG and demand response, is a complicated combinatorial optimization problem that traditional optimization methods are unable to tackle efficiently. Therefore, an improved water evaporation optimization algorithm is proposed and compared with the genetic algorithm, basic water evaporation algorithm, and particle swarm optimizationin this article. Both DG investment models are applied to the standard 33-bus radial distribution network.
