Abstract
Renewable energy sources are gaining more and more interest because they are nonpolluting and sustainable. Recently, a notable number of renewable distributed generations (DGs) having intermittent generation patterns are being interconnected with the distribution network to meet growing load demand and nullify environmental threats. Appropriate integration of renewable DGs in distribution networks is crucial to guarantee the qualitative network operational benefits. In this paper a simple but efficient approach has been proposed for optimal placement and sizing of solar and wind DGs in distribution territory by considering electrical network power loss minimization, voltage stability and network security improvement. The stochastic nature of solar irradiance and wind speed are accounted using suitable probabilistic models. Weighted aggregation particle swarm optimization technique is employed to optimize the objective functions considering bus voltage limit, line loading capacity, discrete size limit and penetration constraints of DGs. Strategic weight selection technique has been adopted to assess the well trade-off solution by persuasion of multiple objectives regarding the performance of distribution network. The proposed method has been applied to a typical Indian rural distribution network, and the satisfactory results are obtained.
