Abstract
In this paper, a
simultaneous approach to choose optimal number of wind based Distributed
Generation (DG) units and their locations is proposed with an objective of
minimizing annual energy loss in a distribution network. Most of the methods
developed so far for optimal allocation of DG units assumed constant DG output
and network load profile which is unreal. Optimal DG sizes and locations found
with above assumptions would not lead to minimum annual energy loss when
employed in realistic scenario where there is uncertainty in the DG output
power generation and network loads have a time-varying load profile. In this
work, wind based generation units are considered as the DG sources for
allocation. In order to gauge the effect of uncertainty in wind power generation
and time-varying load profile on optimal DG allocation problem, a
meta-heuristic method which employs Harmony Search algorithm is used to solve
multiple wind based DG units. Performance and effectiveness of the proposed
method is demonstrated by carrying out simulations on 33-bus and 69-bus radial
distribution systems. Simulation results indicate that consideration of
uncertainty in wind power generation and time varying load profile
significantly affects location and size of DG resources in distribution
systems.
