Optimal Distributed Generator Sizing and Placement by Analytical Method and Fuzzy Expert System: a Case Study in Tezpur University, India

Optimal Distributed Generator Sizing and Placement by Analytical Method and Fuzzy Expert System:... Loss minimization in a distribution network is a vital component for enhancing the efficiency and reliability of a power system. Integration of Distributed Generators (DGs) in the existing power system is comparatively an efficient method for loss reduction than other known solutions. Challenges lie in the optimal sizing and placement of distributed generator. Installation of DGs of higher size at non optimal buses leads to higher system losses. In this paper a two stage methodology is proposed for optimal sizing and placement of DGs.

Abstract

Loss minimization in a distribution network is a vital component for enhancing the efficiency and reliability of a power system. Integration of Distributed Generators (DGs) in the existing power system is comparatively an efficient method for loss reduction than other known solutions. Challenges lie in the optimal sizing and placement of distributed generator. Installation of DGs of higher size at non optimal buses leads to higher system losses. In this paper a two stage methodology is proposed for optimal sizing and placement of DGs. At first, the sizing of DGs is done by analytical approach based on exact loss formula for minimum loss at the allied buses. After that Fuzzy expert system (FES) is used for optimal Placement using Distribution Loss Reduction Index (DLRI) and Voltage Deviation Reduction Index (VDRI) as its input parameters. The proposed methodology is tested for a practical distribution system of Tezpur University, India. The results show the effectiveness of the algorithm in terms of the loss reduction and voltage profile improvement of the distribution system.
