DG allocation with application of dynamic programming for loss reduction and reliability improvement

摘要

Distribution system companies intend to supply electricity to its customers in an economical and reliable manner whereas customers in most distribution system are outspread and connect to distribution system with different type of equipments. These equipment usually have various types and resistance together, that produce highest loss and lowest reliability for distribution systems and customers that are not appreciated in networks. Distributed generations (DGs) are one of the best reliable solutions for these problems if they are allocated appropriately in the distribution system. This paper presents multi-objective function to determine the optimal locations to place DGs in distribution system to minimize power loss of the system and enhance reliability improvement and voltage profile. Time varying load is applied in this optimization to reach pragmatic results meanwhile all of the study and their requirement are based on cost/benefit forms. Finally to solve this multi-objective problem a novel approach based on dynamic programming is used. The proposed methodology is successfully applied to a study case and simulation results are reported to verify the proposed approach.
