Item GA based optimal location and size of the distributed generators in distribution system for different load conditions(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Shivarudraswamy, R.; Gaonkar, D.N.; Sabhahit, J.N.In the recent past factors such as apprehensions over impacts of environmental aspects, distribution network improvement conditions, and other subsidised programs of the government have affected the distributed generators (DG) units count in commercial and domestic electrical power output. It is known that the optimal size and optimal placement of DG units may lead to low power losses, high voltage profiles. In real time scenario identifying an appropriate DG location and size is hard because of various system constraints. Therefore a method which can identify a optimum DG location and size is necessary. Using the method a power system with an acceptable reliability level and voltage profile can be designed. To serve this purpose in this paper a procedure/method which can calculate the optimum location for DG placement and appropriate DG size has been proposed. This method has been evaluated using a 14 bus distribution system. The optimization method has been designed using genetic algorithm (GA) and also for time varying loads. © 2016 IEEE.Item Coordinated voltage control using multiple regulators in distribution system with distributed generators(2011) Shivarudraswamy, R.; Gaonkar, D.N.The continued interest in the use of distributed generation in recent years is leading to the growth in number of distributed generators connected to distribution networks. Steady state voltage rise resulting from the connection of these generators can be a major obstacle to their connection at lower voltage levels. The present electric distribution network is designed to keep the customer voltage within tolerance limit. This may require a reduction in connectable generation capacity, under utilization of appropriate generation sites. Thus distribution network operators need a proper voltage regulation method to allow the significant integration of distributed generation systems to existing network. In this work a voltage rise problem in a typical distribution system has been studied. A method for voltage regulation of distribution system with multiple DG system by coordinated operation distributed generator, capacitor and OLTC has been developed. A sensitivity based analysis has been carried out to determine the priority for individual generators in multiple DG environment. The effectiveness of the developed method has been evaluated under various cases through simulation results.
