Abstract
Recently, a wide range of wind farm based distributed generations (DGs) are being integrated into distribution systems to fulfill energy demands and to reduce the burden on transmission corridors. The non-optimal configuration of DGs could severely affect the distribution system operations and control. Hence, the aim of this paper is to analyze the wind data in order to build a mathematical model for power output and pinpoint the optimal location. The overall objective is minimization of power loss reduction in distribution system. The five years of wind data was taken from 24o 44’ 29” North, 67o 35’ 9” East coordinates in Pakistan. The optimal location for these wind farms were pinpointed via particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm using standard IEEE 33 radial distribution system. The result reveals that the proposed method helps in improving renewable energy near to load centers, reduce power losses and improve voltage profile of the system. Moreover, the validity and performance of the proposed model were also compared with other optimization algorithms.
Highlights
The demand of electricity is increased recently due to urbanization and industrial revolution
Electric demand was mainly fulfilled by fossil fuel based generation
In order to cater this problem, the renewable energy based power generation in distribution system is of great interest
Summary
The demand of electricity is increased recently due to urbanization and industrial revolution. Fossil fuel based power generation leaving a serious threat to environment. It releases large amount of greenhouse gas emissions, which further increases the global temperature and eventually results natural disasters The electrical power generation system is large and centralized; it is delivering bulk power to the national grids and even international grids. It is operating optimally, adding more capacity to sustain power will increase the cost and deteriorates the environmental standards. The small power generation called distributed generation (DG) from renewable energies in distribution system will settled the problems of centralized electrical power generation. The DG has numerous advantages in terms of technical, economic and environmental [1]-[3] such as: Journal homepage: http://journal.portalgaruda.org/index.php/EEI/index
