Abstract
Distributed generation (DG) planning studies are generally conducted while assuming constant generation and load models. However, in this paper, optimal allocation of photovoltaic (PV) based DG is carried out while considering probabilistic generation and time varying voltage dependent load models. First, a novel probabilistic generation model is proposed for solar irradiance uncertainty modeling to compute the hourly output power produced via PV units. Subsequently, the obtained power values are used to determine the optimum PV allocation in the distribution system through particle swarm optimization to minimize the multi-objective function. The proposed algorithm has been validated on 33-bus and 69-bus distribution test systems. The results demonstrate that the proposed model is suitable for solar irradiance modeling and can be employed in power system planning studies.
