Optimal Allocation of Different Type of Distributed Generation in Order to Improve the Performance of Power System Networks”

Abstract

The Optimal use of DG is essential for future necessity in electrical power system networks. The optimal allocation of DG is essential for proper functioning of electrical power method networks. To condense the active power losses and advance the overall voltage profile, these are main concerns for safe operation of power system networks. In this paper, we have compared four different types of DG with different characteristics. In IEEE-9 bus system, the optimum losses are almost same which is 2.9404MW for DG type-1, type-2 and type-4 but for type-3 it is 4.7326MW and improvement in voltage profile is better as compared to other types of DG . In IEEE-24 bus system, the optimum losses for DG type-1, type-2 and type-4 are almost same but for DG type-3 it is 50.4028MW and enhancement in voltage profile is better as associated to other types of DG. In IEEE-33 bus system, the optimum losses for DG type-2 is minimum as compared to type-1, type-3 and type-4 and also improvement in voltage profile is better for type-2 as related to other types of DG. The optimal allocation of DG is done using PSO technique with the help of MATLAB tool mat power 6.0.
