Abstract
PSO based optimal distributed generation placement and capacity by considering harmonic limits
Highlights
Distributed Generation units are generally small-scale electric power generators that can produce electricity at a site, close to customers or that are tied to an electric distribution system
The proposed problem of maximizing the DG penetration level is implemented in MATPOWER and tested in IEEE 30 and IEEE 57 bus system
A new method of finding the optimal placement and capacity of distributed generation using the Particle Swarm Optimization is implemented in IEEE 30 and IEEE 57 bus systems
Summary
Distributed Generation units are generally small-scale (typically 1 kW ÷ 50 MW) electric power generators that can produce electricity at a site, close to customers or that are tied to an electric distribution system. The penetration of renewable based DG resources has created an important role in the future electricity scenario. This is because of its improved performance, reliability, flexibility in achieving increased energy efficiency and reduced emission [1,2]. In the case of a utility owned DG installation, the utility has to optimally plan the location and size of the DG units in order to improve network benefits and reliability [5]. The identification of the best locations for renewable based DGs and the impact of critical uncertainties are presented in a local distribution system [6]. An Ordinal Optimization (OO) approach is presented for solving the DG planning problem with discrete and continuous variables [7]
