Abstract
- Optimal location and sizing of different types of renewable energy generation system at the distribution networks for the purpose of active power loss minimization is revealing much attention of electric power utilities in the recent days. In the present work, optimal location and sizing of different types of renewable energy generators (REGs) have been proposed for IEEE 33-bus test system. The vastness of the REGs is determined by minimizing the power loss in the distribution system. Power distribution losses have been minimized with the determination of optimal location as well as optimum size of distributed generator. In this work, various case studies such as active power loss, reactive power loss, combined real and reactive power, optimum power factor, and multi REGs placements have been considered for optimal location of REGs. A simple but efficient Repeated Load Flow (RLF) technique has been used to ascertain optimal location of REGs. The simulation results obtained from this RLF technique have als...
