Abstract

Proper location and sizing of a distributed generator improve the performance of a Radial Distribution System. A Microgrid is a small-scale version of a conventional power system. However, it is different from distributed generator with respect to the philosophy of operation. This paper presents an algorithm to assess the performance of a Radial Distribution System by integration of a Microgrid using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The algorithm is verified on two Radial Distribution Systems, viz, 9-bus system and 34-bus system. It is proved that proper size of a Microgrid at appropriate location improves the performance of a Radial Distribution System.
