Item Investigations on Combined Operation of Industrial Distribution System and utility in Distributed Generation Environment(2006) Manjunatha Sharma, K.; Vittal, K.P.; Nagaraja Rao, T.K.The deregulation regime has given lot of scope for independent power producers to feed power to the utility nearest to the load center. This feature provides opportunities for lot of improvements in distribution system operation. In this paper investigations have been done for integrated operation of the practical MRPL industrial distribution plant having its own captive generation to act as distributed generation source serving neighboring utility loads. The performance of the system is simulated in both cases of industry acting as source and sink depending on the load cycle. The simulation results will serve as useful tool for decision making in power trading during ABT regime. ©2006 IEEE.Item A heuristic approach to distributed generation source allocation for electrical power distribution systems(Iran University of Science and Technology, 2010) Manjunatha Sharma, K.; Vittal, K.P.The recent trends in electrical power distribution system operation and management are aimed at improving system conditions in order to render good service to the customer. The reforms in distribution sector have given major scope for employment of distributed generation (DG) resources which will boost the system performance. This paper proposes a heuristic technique for allocation of distribution generation source in a distribution system. The allocation is determined based on overall improvement in network performance parameters like reduction in system losses, improvement in voltage stability, improvement in voltage profile. The proposed Network Performance Enhancement Index (NPEI) along with the heuristic rules facilitate determination of feasible location and corresponding capacity of DG source. The developed approach is tested with different test systems to ascertain its effectiveness.Item Assessment of distributed generation source impact on electrical distribution system performance(2010) Sharma, M.; Vittal, K.P.The recent trends in electrical power distribution system operation and management are aimed at improving system conditions in order to render good service to the customer.

The proposed Network Performance Enhancement Index (NPEI) along with the heuristic rules facilitate determination of feasible location and corresponding capacity of DG source. A Priority list is prepared with decreasing values of NPEI so that the designer can select most feasible location. The developed approach is tested with different test systems to ascertain its effectiveness. © 2010 AECE.
