Abstract
Optimal Placement of DG for Power Loss Minimization: A Review
Highlights
Distributed generation known as decentralized generation or embedded generation is broadly defined as the generation of electricity at or near the site of consumption
[9] Various studies have been carried out to improve voltage stability along with decrease in power losses. [10][11][12][13][14][15] This paper focuses on the researches carried out so far on optimal placement of DG in order to minimize power losses in the system
3.1 DG Penetration Factor (DGPF): Losses are required to be minimized in order to achieve a healthy and stable operation power system
Summary
Distributed generation known as decentralized generation or embedded generation is broadly defined as the generation of electricity at or near the site of consumption. Renewable energy sources are the current trends in electricity generation (mainly hydropower) because they are present in abundance and cause no harm to the environment. The countries across the globe are targeting to synchronize the DG’s with the existing grids to reduce the carbon emission and other harmful impacts of conventional generation. Integrating such type of generation units with existing grid helps in reducing losses and enhances the power quality by improving the voltage profile. The penetration of DG into the grids is a major concern because when more load is shifted to DG’s, the load on existing generating units is reduced which leads to various unbalancing problems in the system. Type 1: DG which inject both active power and reactive power in the system
