Optimal Power Flow and Performance Analysis of SPV Penetration to IEEE Bus System Using MI Power

Abstract

The need to meet changing demand in an economical manner while making the best use of already-expensive electrical systems led to inescapable problems with overloading, increased power transfer coupled with extremely high system loss, and unstable voltage profiles that ultimately resulted in an unreliable system. Power distribution is impacted by the remarkable changes that are currently taking place in the use and provision of energy services. Numerous new avenues for the provision and use of electrical energy have been opened up as a result of developed and diverse distributed technologies, including distributed electricity generation. The emergence of powerful and affordable software has enabled us to cope with the fast-paced development in the power industry which requires updating resources with modern technologies to manage substations. The goal of the proposed work is to integrate solar photovoltaic and optimize the power flow, voltage profile, and real power loss through the building of a simulation model on Mi Power. Power flow analysis was used to calculate the actual power loss, which was then minimized through SPV placement. Additionally, the impact of PV penetration on single bus loading was assessed for all load buses operating in succession with either active, reactive, or combined active and reactive loads.
