Abstract
The distributed generation (DG) plays an important role in the context of the environmental problems and sustainable development throughout the world. This paper proposes a DG siting and sizing model in an active distribution network (ADN). The objective is to minimize the total cost, including investment, operation and maintenance costs. The proposed model is transferred to a Mixed Integer Second-Order Cone Programming (MISOCP) model based on a distribution network forward backward-sweep power flow and constraint relaxation. The CVX platform and GUROBI solver are used for the solution. The scenario analysis is used for the uncertainties of load and DG. Different numbers of operational scenarios are considered in order to analyze the effect of a non-network solution to the final planning result and total investment. The planning results with and without consideration of active managements, and the planning results with and without taking environmental profits into consideration, are compared and analyzed. The proposed methodology is verified with a modified IEEE 33 example.
